Installed The New Dishwasher

I finally got around to installing the new dishwasher that Tara's sister Stephanie mysteriously bought for us. Not sure why, but I never look a gift horse in the mouth. Seriously, if anyone ever feels like giving me something, feel free! :) Anyway, taking apart the old one (and its hoses) released the most foul stench into the house. When Tara got home she immediately asked about it, I told her, she opened every window she could reach, then took Elizabeth and left! I had suggested it, actually :)

I stayed behind and finished the job. The smell happened because we had stopped using the old dishwasher (because it was almost worthless anyway), but without that occasional hot water running through its pipes/tubes, the water that never left its system basically turned into bilge, almost sewage. That's how bad it smelled. It's outside now.

Anyway, the new one is installed (though I haven't drilled/screwed it into place yet) and working fine. It should be nice having a dishwasher again. Thanks, Stephanie!
