Maytag...classy

Today I (Jon) learned how to install a new dishwasher. My friend Doug, winner of the 2007 World's Ultimate Handyman competition (well, he would have been if there were such a thing and he subsequently entered the contest), came over and helped me out. It turns out installing a dishwasher is pretty simple; there are only a few hoses and wires to switch out. In fact, it only requires one trip to Lowe's to complete the task.

We got a pretty good deal at the Sear's Outlet Store off I-25 and 6th, ending up with a mid-range Maytag for our troubles. And I must admit, neither Jessica nor I have ever seen such clean dishes. They are almost too clean to eat off of, or at least too clean to go in our cupboards. They should be in a magazine ad or something. "Oh, my, you have not a single spot on any of your glassware." "But of course--we have a Maytag." "Maytag...classy."

It really is the simple things in life...
