Jun. 11th, 2007 01:28 pm(yet more wittering about DIY and such)
We have clean dishes! They were washed in the dishwasher, which I plumbed in and switched on yesterday. Given that we had the most enormous pile of washing up to do and the freezer was sitting where the drying rack should be, it seemed an apposite time. RAR! It wasn't too hard - the hard parts were getting the pipes to go where they should when they were quite short and the dishwasher had to fit in the small space under the sink. I had to tie ropes to them, then push the dishwasher into the space, then pull on the ropes to get enough length of pipe to plumb it in. Good thing I had rope handy really.
The replacement pump for the washing machine arrived today, and it's the right part. Hopefully this will fix it; I'm not really sure that it's the pump that's the problem but I can't see what else it could be. Anyway, I'll fit it tonight and we'll see.
I might even get around to moving stuff into the new fridge freezer and reclaiming the drying rack...
I have done other things since I last updated, like clubbing and partying, but you get the updates on the DIY. Aren't you all lucky.
