We talked to Macky yesterday to let him know that our sink cabinet had finally arrived and that we’d like him to come by when he had to set it up, finally move the connection for the dishwasher so that we can move the kitchen cabinets back and get the counter top ordered, and deal with a few new little problems we’ve encountered such as the leak under the kitchen sink and the leaks around the shower walls. So he offered to come by at 8 am and get things underway which meant I needed to be ready at that time for him to show up.
So at about 8 am, Ayla and I came back from our walk and he wasn’t here yet. In fact, he didn’t actually show up until about 9:45 but at least he actually came. There’s not so much that needs to be handled so showing up a bit later isn’t the end of the world.
He’s already finished with reconnecting the dishwasher line under the kitchen sink. Now hubby and I will need to cut a notch into the sink cabinet to make space for the hoses to run back and forth and then we can finally move it all against the wall and call our granite guy to come take the measurements. I also mentioned to Macky that there is a leak from the dishwasher which seems to be occurring when the water and muck is flushed from the dishwasher. It’s actually a rather significant leak and we almost managed to start an electrical fire from the looks of things because of it. The plugs for the stand-alone sink water heater and the dishwasher are sharing a plug strip under the sink which had just been laying inside the cabinet. I noticed on Sunday that the water heater wasn’t working and when I inspected it closer, I saw it wasn’t on at all. Then I saw the water in the bottom of the cabinet and I knew we had a bit of a problem. I thought it was probably coming from the sink but after several uses, there was no water to be found where it didn’t belong. Until I started running the dishwasher this morning. Then we got the water pouring out again into the cabinet. I am thankful that I at least was able to figure out where it was coming from so hopefully Macky has already found the solution as well. He told me to test it but I have to wait until the water is back on but then we’ll see.
At the moment he’s hooking up the sink upstairs in the new bathroom which will be really fabulous to have finished. That will almost complete that room, aside from moving the cabinet above the sink (which I would love for Macky to take care of today since he hung it in the wrong place but I don’t think he has the right tools with him) and other little small decorating touches.
We’re also supposed to finally have our trash container picked up today. They usually come before noon but it’s past then and they’re still not here…so hopefully they will get here in the next hour so I don’t have to worry so much about not letting the dog out in the courtyard in case they show up.
