Welcome to the 1970s

Oh yes! That’s right! With Keith’s expert assistance, Nick and I finally entered the 1970s last week. Our kitchen now sports a modern Bosch dishwasher!

It was no small feat to install it. First, we had to bring our plumbing up to code by installing an air gap. Then we needed a power source. (Thanks Rod!) Finally, we needed to install it. It was this last step that gave us the most trouble. See...the tiles in our kitchen are built on top of the original floor. That makes the space between the floor and the counter just a wee bit too small.

“I think we can take a bit off here and make it fit!”

All good house projects involve messes. This one was no exception. Keith used a router and chisel to carve away a bit of the plywood supporting the counter.

Three trips to the hardware store later (all house projects require three trips) and our dishwasher was installed! Hooray!
