Dishwasher
Wendy has always wanted a dishwasher. I've always been leery about installing one. SHe forced the issue by buying one and having it delivered. Reading the instructions it isn't as bad as I feared. We have the space available beside the sink. The drain from the dishwasher attaches to a fitting on the garbage disposal (gee -- I never noticed that on the disposal before!) It only requires hot water, which I can tap into just to the other side where the washing machine is hooked up. I can also tap into the power that supplies the clothes washer -- just don't run both at once.
So I pull the floor from the cabinet, and find that we have had a resident for quite a while. She is quite lovely, and rather large. She clung to her home (the cabinet floor) while I carried it outside. A dropped a penny near her for scale as she worked repairing her web -- giving me a good shot of her underside. Wiped out her web with a stick, got a picture of her topside just before I bumped her off near the raspberry bush where she will hopefully adapt to living under the adjoining playhouse.
Carried the floor out front to be placed out with the trash, took a picture of where she was with a dime for scale, photo chopped the two pictures together.
