Because he is never one to shy away from a challenge, it wasn't enough for Seamus to take on the plumbing, electrical and carpentry of dishwasher installation. He felt the need to further test his skills by imposing crippling financial constraints.
Working from the logic that a licensed electrician would cost $500, and an unlicensed plumber might cost $200 - Seamus decided that the only way to make this worthwhile, would be to bring the project in under $200. And the only way to do that was to forgo the reciprocating saw and do the work with hand tools and a drill.
I absolutely adore this man.
Simultaneously, I have developed an ice cream making habit which means that I'm happily churning away in a 1/4 inch of sawdust. So far I've made italian ices based on the Basil Aliyah (white grapes, basil and lime juice), also a banana coffee frozen yogurt and a lemon mint ice cream. My personal challenge has been to incorporate as many wedding gifts into the ice cream prep - so the blender, juicer, stand mixer, coffeemaker, cuisinart and ice cream maker are all in on the fun. The appliances and I are REALLY looking forward to the new dishwasher which will be our slave.
If you've been to our house, you know the kitchen is tiny.
In fact, you might think it was ill advised for us to both take up kitchen based hobbies but we are still happy newlyweds -
so until I trip on the saw, it's all good.This is Seamus at 3 AM calling it a night on the dishwasher.
