Ultimate as in the end… hopefully! The dishwasher is up and running. It is not completely fitted into the space, but we are waiting to use it a couple of times to check for leaks while it is easier to pull out. You can read the beginning of this story here and here.

Cape of Dreams 
The valve looks like a flower. Get some more valves and attach them to the pipes at a shorter height and you will have some flowers in your garden that won’t die.
I had the same thought. Will have to keep my eye on the trash to see if anyone is throwing out valves.
Congrats on your new dishwasher!! New appliances are the best and Douglas did a kick-ass job on the plumbing. I love seeing people just go for it! I feel like there’s nothing you guys can’t tackle. Good for you.
Thank you. It is amazing how much cheaper home improvements are when you can do them yourself. And with the internet, there is no excuse not to try. It is so easy to get instructions.
