I also have a well, water not really a cost issue.
Happy to pay the water heater part of the bill. I just now got em using hot water. They all wanted to rinse with cold/warm, meaning you had to re rinse to use a dish. That happened twice before I just walked over and dumped all the dishes back into the wash water. No longer and issue.

I bought a dishwasher years ago, probably about 10 years ago, when I was younger and had my apartment. I didn't like to wash dishes. It was a used portable dish washer in good condition that I paid $50 for and it's been going ever since. It doesn't use a lot of water. The dishes are clean! I just load up the dishes. I rarely rinse off a plate before putting it in and they come out spotless. It saves water too! We have a $120 water bill and are conservative with our water. That 10 plus year old dishwasher keeps on going and is probably the best $50 I ever spent.

Umm, get a dog and let him do the dishes. You might want to put soap in his mouth though, and make sure you neighbors dont work for the SPCA.

The wifes infertility doc is a nice guy, but I dont see him being that nice.
It is an experiance. Just this morning I got the lecture from my wife. I told her about my comment above, she says it was cute, takes a moment and starts on me......
I give up smoking, caffine, beer, sweets.....all for a baby, and what to you give up, nothing, nothing, nothing....she goes and goes........I just want to say "My Sanity, and peace of mind"
but instead.......I just say how proud I am of her.

Sorry, almost stole the thread.............but thanks for lettin babble a minute.

Well now I get the whole building of dishwashers, thanks for clearing that up

I am currently working on my little dishwasher, so far he's 18months old, and he loves it, how long till they start to break down?

The other one just broke down at 17 years. I got a band-aid fix on her for another few months. Then I'm gonna buy her some dishes of her own.
