Have you ever installed a dishwasher yourself?

I don't have a specific relayable question - more like, given that my existing dishwasher is broken so I'm not losing any functionality, how insane is it to do myself?

[surrealestate]

I've helped someone *replace* a dishwasher, and it wasn't a big deal. Installing from scratch is more complicated.

This is a general theme for every DIY project I have ever done myself. Replace? Easy-peasy (... usually). Install from nothing? Better know (more-or-less) what you're doing.

Yeah, that. Replacing the dishwasher was easy, by which I mean it only took three times as long as expected, and only one extra trip to the hardware store.

This. :)

Well not by myself, but in cooperation with Nick.

The new ones usually have pretty comprehensive instructions. If you're at all handy you should be able to do it yourself. I recommend a Bosch. (I think that's how it's spelled) they're super quiet and efficient.

Yes, twice. And soon I'm going to do so again with the nice Bosch unit I got from my sister that's been sitting in my basement for nearly a year. If you still want the old one, I'll happily bring it over and install it once I've replaced it.

I... Holy crap. Yes, please. Wow. I will provide beer and accolades and you would have my eternal gratitude. Seriously? Wow!

And here I'd been feeling bad because I promised it to you almost a year ago and haven't followed up. :-)

Super secret secret about me: my memory about stuff like that is very poor! I am easy to surprise with facts I already "knew"! :) But the wow thank you still stands.
