One Step Closer

We finished laying the tile in the kitchen this last weekend. Granted, we don't have the whole thing grouted yet, but we did manage to grout the area under the counter so we could install our new dishwasher. Now granted, we needed to purchase a new dishwasher like we needed holes in our heads, BUT, when you've gone to the effort to pull the old funky one out, and we've been wanting to get a new one so it will match the other appliances, it seemed to be the optimal time. But with all good things come the bad! Hubby installed it last night and I was able to run my first load of dishes in 4 DAYS! What a mess! I was so excited! But about halfway through the cycle I went in and found water all in front of the dishwasher and wet grout! GRRRRR! There was some little mechanism under one of the sprayers that was leaking, it had nothing to do with installation, possibly a defective part. Far be it for anything to be made properly these days! Anyway, I am in the process of running another load and checking it frequently to see if any more leakage is happening. Maybe it was one of those quirky things that happens on the first run and then resolves itself?!? Who knows? But after this weekend, we will have finished almost 1100 square feet of tile and hardwoods! WE are so TOTALLY cool!
