Day 11.078: Getting a quart out of a pint pot

Tonight, our job was to remove our old dishwasher ready for the new one to be delivered tomorrow. A job that would not be too hard, except that the flooring does not extend under the cabinets, so the dishwasher had to be tipped and lifted onto the floor at which point the top tucked itself under the lip of the countertop.

Of course, we turned to the internet, where we found not only others complaining of the same issue, but also horrific sights of people literally cutting their old dishwashers out.  We were about to give up when we realised that there might be just enough give in the counter to wiggle it out. However, we needed three strong workers - two to pull on the counter and one to move the appliance. Fortunately, our mighty karate ninja daughter (Exile #4) was not yet asleep and - sure enough - with her help we succeeded.

Tomorrow, we will find out if fitting the new one is as straightforward.
