I’m glad that I didn’t hurry to finish the dishwasher installation<\/a> because it’s not working out. \ud83d\ude41 I can run two to three loads without problem and then the next two or three leak like a sieve. Everything’s fine when I’m running the dishwasher at sink height, so the problem isn’t the machine. I should, in theory, be able to run it at the height I have been, but it’s just not working reliably.<\/p>\n

My options are:<\/p>\n

1) Stick with the undercounter installation, but waterproof the area and direct the spillage to a container;<\/p>\n

2) Install the dishwasher on the counter, next to the stove. This would still give me half the countertop for cooking and eventually eating at and would cover the two holes. The big con to this is that I would be partially blocking the window. I’m not sure yet if that’s really a problem. I also don’t like the idea of screwing anything into the counter top, but I would have to to secure the unit;<\/p>\n

3) Give up on the dishwasher. If I do that, I’ve decided that I am also going to give up on cooking. I am not joking. I’ve had a lot of thought about this in the past few months. I think I would be easier to stick with very simple no-cook things like sandwiches and fruit and go out for the odd ‘nice’ meal. This is something I’ve struggled with for years; I love to eat, but cooking and cleanup time feel like such a waste to me. Giving up cooking would greatly simplify my life. Moreover, I’m making more and more of my income from this computer; eating out a few times a week would give me an excuse to go out.<\/p>\n

For now, I’m test driving options 2 and 3 and feel that I could probably live off a diet of peanut butter sandwiches and sweet juicy oranges. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
