The Good, The Bad and The Ugly!

This is my beautiful new Refrigeratorand dishwasher!
I haven't had a dishwasher for about 23 years and was overjoyed to get this wonderful appliance. Our old fridge was a energy vampire which had started making strange noises. I have never had a fridge with a water and ice dispenser so this also was such a treat.


Poor Archie was the lucky person who got to install both of these wonderful additions. He seemed to encounter one problem after another...but he never gave up even after the water hose on the dish washer blew off and filled the drawers with water as it sprayed the whole kitchen!

We have enjoyed these additions for a couple of months.

Then I noticed water on the floor downstairs between the wall and the dryer...where in the world is that coming from? After searching every possible place Archie found that the new water line for the new fridge had been slowly dripping and running down the pipe and into the wall of the basement for about a week or so. UGH!!!

So the ugly project began...tearing out sheet rock and insulation. After the wood dries out we'll start putting it all back together.


The sheet is covering the window. We had to break out the tile windowsill too.



The good news is that it could have been allot worse.
Always look for the good news!
