Today was a glorious day. We got a dishwasher!
We have been planning a kitchen remodel for 2 years now, and each time we get ready to do it, one of the kids gets engaged. I know me, and if my house is ripped up while I'm getting ready for a wedding, the men in the little white coats will have to come and get me! The appliances are starting to 'go'. The dishwasher pooped out 2 years ago this summer. So we have been washing dishes by hand everyday for that whole time. But we just kept thinking the remodel was just around the corner.
We finally decided it is at least another 6 months off now, so when my friend and neighbor called me earlier in the week to say I could buy her 2 year old GE Profile dishwasher that she just took out of her kitchen for her remodel to have until we redo ours I jumped at the offer! She sold it for a steal of a price and her contractor came and put it in today. He even hauled our old broken down one away. I sprayed and wiped it down and it is amazing. Every time someone from the family called I would put the phone up to it and say, "Can you hear that?" They all said no. I answered, "Of course you can't! It's the 'new' dishwasher and it's sooooo quiet!"

Of course, it prompted more 'clean and purging'. Everything came out from under the kitchen sink. I threw out, consolidated, wiped, dried, rearranged, and put it back under. Boy it looks good.
It has been sitting in their garage for 6 months and so now the old adage has come true once again--that one man's trash is another man's treasure!
