My new dishwasher

Is it really pathetic when the most exciting thing in your life is a new dishwasher? My old one was finally on the fritz. Even though it was really old,and yellow,we decideed to keep it when we bought our house-hey-it still worked. Well,not so much anymore. It was making a weird "ka-clunk" sound and the heat element stunk really bad when it was in the dry cycle. So my poor little dishwasher had to go. Our first kitchen upgrade-what a big milestone in our lives. Ha Ha.

The old yellow monster-I will say that it matched our cupboards nicely.

The new dishwasher-now our cupboards and counter tops look REALLY old and bad,but hey-one thing at a time right?

Kevin,who is not much of a handyman,(it's o.k. to say that,because he knows it) had someone from church come and help install the new dishwasher. How hard could it be,right? Well, apparently it can be pretty difficult. The people who lived here before us replaced the kitchen floor,and instead of laying new vinyl over the existing flooring,they just built a new floor. The only problem was that they built the floor around the dishwasher, so it was pretty stuck. There was no room to pull it out,so they had to saw the legs off and pull it out. Which meant they had to saw the legs off the new dishwasher just to be able to fit it back into the slot. What a mess-a 45 min job turned into 4 hours. However, I no longer have to listen to a "ka-klunk" sound,my dishes are sparkly clean,and my new dishwasher is "oh,so quiet".
