Line Up and Wait
Hi All,
My dishwasher of 20 years bit the dust, went six feet under, gave up the ghost, and assumed room temperature.
I set out to purchase a new dishwasher, remembering that I had paid around $200 for it.
Much to my surprise, the cheapest dishwasher I could find was $450 and the one compareable to my old one started at $699.
The idea of not buying a dishwasher is problematic because it leaves no place for our electric skillet. This means my wife is forced to place the electric skillet under her CD/Radio that is mounted to the bottom of the cupboard and the grease splatters up into the CD/Radio.
Now, she has no dishwasher, and is ruining her CD/Radio. That works out to mean no Laura and no Rush.
So, I calculated the cost of dishwashing soap, the cost of the radio, and figured in a kitchen cabinet for $120. I set out to Walmart and found a kitchen cabinet, made in China, but not assembled. I would be the "Made in America" component.
After 3 hours, two cups of coffee, and the help of my wife and dog, the finished product appeared.
Now, we wash and dry dishes together, solve the world's problems, and enjoy saving $600.
