An appliance update....

We pulled our leaking dishwasher away from the wall - no small feat with the hard wiring and hoses - and found the leak coming from the right side of the machine.

Which is where the hose carrying the "dirty" water runs from the machine to the sink drain.

We disconnected said hose and tested it for leakage...but it's fine.

Mrs. Adorkification and Adorkette believe it has something to do with said hose not being mounted high enough, which is a valid reason, but we learned that one of our duel kitchen sinks is also leaking.

As a result, we've agreed to call a professional...as soon as we can afford one.

In the meantime, we'll be hand-washing a lot - which takes me back to when Mrs. Adorkification and I first moved in together. 

She cooked, I cleaned. 

But at least this time we've got some help. 

Thanks, Adorkette!

I'll be back to my usual adorkification tomorrow.

GO PATS!!!

You know what sucks...

...Leaky dishwashers!

We've got one.

Good news: The puddle is relatively small.
Bad news: The puddle is relatively small.

So my day will be spent taking said contraption apart (after cutting power and water of course) and seeing a) where the leak is coming from, and b) if it's something we can fix ourselves.

When it comes to things like this, Mrs. Adorkification does the research...and the planning...pretty much everything involved with thought.

I'm the do-er, meaning I'm the one taking out the tools, taking things apart, and making sure it can all fit back together again...after the repeated trips to Home Depot and/or Lowes.

I'm okay with our arrangement, since she has never blamed or criticized me if said contraption fails to work ever again. She sees these adventures as "team events" and I'm thankful for that.
