Dishwasher update

So, yesterday, my boss checked it out when he came over. Apparently the issue was they took the line out from the pipe to the dishwasher and didn't cap that pipe up. So it was leaking. He suggested just getting something to cap it off (like mon...thanks!) so we could at least have water.

So, after totally freaking out and having a couple beers and a nap, kevin came home. He checked out everything. Apparently the dishwasher was hardwired into the back of the plug that the garbage disposal is plugged into. The reason...the plug runs on a switch. So this way the dishwasher always had current available and you weren't running the disposal when you ran the dishwasher.

So after Kevin took me to work he ran to Home depot and thanks to an awesome customer service person he found everything he needed to fix it. He didn't splice the new dishwasher plug into the old one, he plugged it into the plug under the sink (shared with the disposal) so we currently have to unplug the disposal to run the dishwasher...but it works!!!! And Kevin did it all by himself!!! I"m so proud of him!

Our newest dilemma is that they installed a new floor with the old dishwasher still in it's cubby....so in trying to put the new one back in, it's about 1/2 an inch too high. So it's sticking out about 3 inches, but it works!!!
