manleyhouseDishwashers work better when you turn the water supply on. Thing is, it still ran through the cycle without water. Including the heated dry. so when I turned the water on it got to wash off baked on stuff. It is still quiet, but not as quiet as when there is no water shooting around in it.
I won an auction for the hole punches to finish off the dishwasher air-gap installation, which is what I have been waiting for. The dishes started cluttering up counter so I just rigged the air gap up under the sink so it was in the proper orientation, and ran it. The punches should be in on the 19th, which will allow me to finish off that project.
I got the first bead of caulk on the countertop on the south side of the kitchen. The wall is a bit uneven and the corner wasn't quite square so some of the gaps are a bit big. Another bead will need to be put in, most likely tonight, to fully seal it. When that is done, that project will also be checked off the list. Then comes the handle template for the cabinets.
Patch cables (multicolored 1') are on order for the network connections in the media panel downstairs. When those come in I will attempt to place the cable modem, router and a switch in the panel and make it all nice and tidy. I have a feeling it will completely kill the wireless transmission of the router though. Need to take a look at that, maybe an external antenna? or replace it with an airport extreme or some other access point placed upstairs.
Unpacking is progressing, much yet to do, but the piles in the basement are getting smaller.
