Remember when appliances lasted into the two-digit amount of years?!?
Wow, you're OLD.
Which makes me old and cranky.
Our hot water heater is 23 years old. I know...I watch the pan for signs of trouble, but yet, there it is. 23 years old. It probably deserves a medal or something. The one I can replace it with, even if I spend the most money a person can spend on a hot water will still only last 7-10 years.
And do NOT get me started on dishwashers, or as I have come to understand them, those disposable expensive things that do not ever really work right, or for long...
So, I'm off to Home Depot to give them a chance to fail to install a dishwasher properly.
Meanwhile, I'm back to farm life and no dishwasher.
On a related note...my adolescence was punctuated by this moment of parental glory...
We had a brand new dishwasher in a box in my fathers' workshop for YEARS. One day, I asked him to please install the dishwasher and he responded "Why? We HAVE a dishwasher." He meant me, of course and isn't being an only child ever so much fun? To wit, I responded "an ELECTRIC dishwasher!" His response? "Okay, we'll wire you to the floor."
