Dishwasher Decision

Well, we made a decision about our rusty and busted dishwasher. My
husband was able to find parts for it very inexpensively, so we
only spent about $45 on parts instead of $500-$700 on a
new replacement. I’m very happy with the decision, especially because it means we can put (eventual) new carpet at the top of the list instead. I’m happy at the prospect of even FUTURE new carpet.

Normally, I’d go on to this week’s links at this point, but first I’d
