If you're also looking to get rid of the quick-jack I'll kindly take it off your arms. Save you even more room.

I can put a sticker on the dishwasher that says quick jack if you'd like

time for a bump!

got a free 18" dishwasher from a customer. sorta an oddball size, so was a long shot when i started looking a few years ago.

was going to be tricky, as none of my cabinets are a standard size. going both ways off the sink, i've got 15", 36" lazy suzan units, and then pair of 37" cabinets.


i went to the left. the plan? remove the 15" cabinet, then cut down the lazy suzan to fit.

cabinet came out simple enough, but turns out my sink "cabinet" is just a facia front panel with a a hacked in raised floor and toekick. wasn't expecting that.


ended up salvaging the removed cabinet side panel to make a sink panel side


then had to pull apart the lazy susan and 're-size' it to make everything fit.

cutting down the rotating assembly of the lazy susan, and marking out how to get the rear panel to re-wrap back around to the front


lazy susan cut down. i knew it was going to reduce my space, wasn't expecting this much! but it is what it is...



and the finished product





of course, no project is without it's surprises
all-metal undersink drains, starting to rot out, the 1 is held together and not leaking only by rust/corrosion. needed to re-pipe anyways to get the dishwasher drain in, good thing too, this was already on borrowed time!


all piped in and almost read to go! lots of crud in the old setup for some reason



i was all set, and celebrating not having any leaks, then everything plugs up and water starts backing up the drain...

i knocked some of the sediment somewhere loose re-piping it, it's clogged somewhere.

so after all that, NOW i need to call a plumber this week to roto rooter out the line...

Not for me, too tall, lanky and they all seem to walk funny.

I prefer the local strip joint, at least then you know exactly what you are going to get.

Short of that, Weight Watchers is good, at least you have a better than even chance she can also cook and do dishes.

Lately had to do some maintenance
1. Refilled ar-conditioner gas (took me a while trying to figure out what the issue was, until someone gave me a hint, to check line pressure
2. Replaced fridge evaporator fan

Youtube, google and asking the right people saves a lot of money.
