Dishwater Hands

After 24 years of this.....

 I am finally upgrading to this.....

No more dishwater hands.

In all honesty I have not minded doing dishes by hand

all these years.

It has been a time for thinking and looking out the window.

I grew up using a dishwasher.

When we got married the duplex we lived in didn't have one

so I just adjusted to washing dishes by hand.

It NEVER felt like a hardship.

Even when we moved into this house

and our dishwasher was a piece of junk

because of the hard water

I continued washing dishes by hand.

The goal...

When we get a water softener

and a new dishwasher

 I will use it.

The dishwasher has been sitting there in it's place ever since we

remodeled the kitchen.

But alas no water softener.

So I did not use the dishwasher.

The problem...

The water softener we have always wanted

ever since we did the research

Kinetico=expensive.

Never was a huge priority on the spending list for us.

Finally last week we bought one

off of KSL no less.

A man losing his house sold it to us for the BARGAIN price of

$800.00!!!

Kinetico came out and installed it for $200.00.

This is considerably cheaper than a new one.

Last night the hubby hooked up the dishwasher.

Magic!

No more dirty dishes in the sink ever! (wishful thinking)

I now have to train the family to rinsing and loading a dish

as they use it.

Wish me luck!

I think I might miss my uninterrupted thinking time at the sink....
