In the quest for clean glasses, I finally gave in and bought a new dishwasher. Home Depot s cheap installation proved to be too good to be true; they quickly decided there wasn’t enough clearance with my ceramic tiles, and recommended I chisel them out before inviting them back. My own measurements confirmed it would fit, so I tackled the installation myself. Getting it into place and hooked up was more of a chore (and a workout!) than I bargained for, but the dishes are nice and clean now. It also runs much quieter. I recycled the old one by stripping off all the interesting parts for my brother’s various projects.
