Made to break....

Not having a landlord stinks sometimes.

Like when we found our kitchen floor covered in water last week.

Craig and I were able to figure out that the water was coming from a pinhole leak in the dishwasher drain hose (dishwashers use a lot of water - at least it seems it when it is all over your floor).  So, easy enough to fix, we'll replace the hose.  Craig is pretty handy around the house and I'm not helpless by any means - we can do it.

So, he goes to home depot, picks up another hose, busts out the tool box - we are ready to go. Turns out we weren't.  The darn hose will not budge - impossible to remove it seems.

Fastforward to today - over a week later.

I spent an hour on the internet this morning trying to find out how to replace this dang thing. I am not new to the internet - I know how navigate it.  Maytag's website sucks. Just an FYI.  Turns out, we can't use a run of the mill dishwasher hose. Nope, we need a special one direct from Maytag because it needs to loop funny. So, ordered that just now.  $25 later....

So, our dishwasher is still out of commission. Not a huge deal, just a pain in the butt. We'll see when the part gets here since there was no shipping choices - you get it when you get it I guess.

So frustrating, but at least we can take a break from trying to fix it, right? :-)

Now off to celebrate our 6 month anniversary - with the completion of unpacking and cleaning out the garage. With any luck, our cars will be in it tonight :-)
