Brilliant - I absolutely loved this video. I can completely relate to the excessive number of tools used. The tool tidy up often takes me longer to do than the actual job!
Hahahahaha... no doubt. Sometimes when my son and I are in the middle of some kind of engine repair we are astounded at the number of tools we drag out!! And sometimes we are STILL missing just that ONE specialty item too. LOL
I just did this project a few weeks ago. We got a Maytag. The new one is very quiet. It was what I call a 2 beer job. Took some time. The store install fee was 200 bucks plus
Hahahaha...two beer job...that's good. Maytag makes a good machine, no doubt. I've only had a store install an appliance one time and that was a double door reefer. I wasn't home at the time and they left WITHOUT hooking up the water to the ice maker !! That was a deal they called 'free delivery and install' and for the one and only time I didn't have to haul something home myself. Yeah, I had to roll it out and hook up the line myself. LOL No biggie, but at least I didn't have to grunt or strain lifting the darn thing.
Hahahaha....yeah buddy !! I only look at them when I get to the end of a project and find out I skipped step #2 and that has to be done for the unit to work !! LOL
Ahhhhhhhh, I see JO pots on the counter! Which reminds me to do some tippin and sippin in celebration of a new and quiet and convenient toy for The Missus! I recon that since you bought that new tractor it’s only fair that she get a nice new thing or two as well, eh? Hold on a second while I pour another CuppaJO to make a toast to a job well done! ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️I’m raisin me CuppaJO even as I button! Flowers blooming and a vast array of tools spread out on the kitchen floor, a Lovely sight! Why is it that rarely does the tool list are the only ones needed? Now my trouble is that when I need a tool I know well I own never seems to be where I just saw it last week? Plus it could be in the house, the tool shed or my shop and sometimes in the truck! I’ve often threatened myself to make a tool box just for the house instead of the junk drawer in the kitchen that contains everything known and unknown to mankind except the tool I need!? I needed some black electrical tape a few weeks ago. I know I saw a roll in the junk drawer. After sorting through rubber bands, screws, nails, twistie ties, straws, corks, tiny to medium screw drivers, batteries (some of which may or may not be good) plastic spoons or three, store coupons that expired back in 19, bottle lids, key rings with no keys and some keys and things too numerous to mention, where’s the tape? Of course a day later there it was under a crumpled up coupon and after I hiked up to the shop numerous times for tools I didn’t find! Well what we were doing was plugging logs with mushroom spores and sealing holes with beeswax, lions mane and shitackie or how ever you spell it and stacking them up in the woods. We’d one this a few years back and Alice dried a bunch for future use. This time it was another friend Matt who brought a bunch of green oak and maple logs with everything needed for a log pluggin party inna holler! We had some other friends Amanda and her daughter Emma and we were pluggin away all to Harry! So from 1 pm to 10 pm pluggin was a happening but Matt spent the last three hours pluggin logs to take home. We did a goodly stack and last week he brought some more. I’ve seen lions mane here in the woods and chicken of the woods, which are delicious! But really I ment to talk about plastic furniture covers! Indeed, I’ve experienced this very things especially with folks who moved into a new trailer. Seems to go with beer cans and spandex, a mess of dogs and cats and garage sale purchases that accumulate in corners, counters and any available table tops. If they are horse people there will be tack, boots and helmets, blue and other colored ribbons won at horse events and at least with horse people a few liquor bottles with sticky finger prints. This is also found in houses with plastic furniture covers. I knew a retired couple years bad who had those heavy clear plastic slip covers over all their stuffed furniture. They both smoked like chimneys, drank a bottle of bourbon daily between them and always had the curtains closed. So when sitting on their sofa in the Smokey and dark living room the clear plastic slip covers had a brown and sticky like surface! All I can say about that is YUCK but how very clean but Smokey under all those plastic slip covers! I forgot about their very old little dog that used the rug for other purposes than walking on but didn’t have most of it covered with clear plastic runners. But yes, there was a number of square yards of this. So you can imagine just how lovely and quick a visit it must have been, eh? The interior of the entire house was coated with many years of 3 or 4 packs a day of smokes and yes, in case you were wondering, their car also had clear plastic seat covers with that same brownish sticky tone. In spite of the Lucious description I just gave they both lived into their 80s and I was amazed how tough they both were! See what a little reminder you gave with not removing the plastic? I saw an old microwave oven in a scrap yard with that plastic cover still over the controls. How preddy the controls were when we peeled off the plastic as it was in the scrap pile. Well, I’d best get back to the shop and finish finishing a sassafras bowl I turned yesterday for a wedding gift. I’ll have to send you a pic of the bowl. It was a big sassafras tree that came down in a storm being struck by a falling dead tree in our woods. I took my drawl knife and got the bark off, which I used to tan a deer hide and it was u deer my shop porch roof 5-6 years. So back to it on this Lovely 70degree spring day. On the way up I’ll be sippin and tippin all the hundred yards to me shop your way! This heer iz DaveyJO headin up the holler tippin your holler all the way and then some with squeeze Pleezez!
Hahahahaha....what a day of trial and tribulations about finding that ONE thing you need to do what needs to be done !! LOL I understand completely about the junk in the junk drawer. Remember that Rock n Roll song back in the 60's...?? I'm thinking Ricky Nelson....About that gal who dug everything outta her purse but just couldn't find her keys. LOL. THAT's DaveyJO and his junk drawer !! I get sassafras and persimmon mixed up all the time if I see only one or the other in the woods. But if there are one of each I don't have a problem with recognizing the bark. The wood is very easy to tell apart though. Persimmon is hard as a rock and sassafras light as dried white pine. I think the golf 'wood' clubs are persimmon...ain't they ? Take care my friend and good luck with the next 'find' in the special drawer virtually everyone has in their house. LOL. Sippin anna tippin this very moment in honor of an old friend in Pa. !!
Haha, finally pulling out the instructions after it's installed... Exactly what I would do, unless I used them as a drop cloth for any crap that falls out.
Great install Sir, I am just waiting till I have to do the same thing, lol but then again I will have a heck of a time to replace my wife's as we have an island right in front of the unit, lol!!!
Oh man, that might turn into a bit of a cussing exercise !! LOL. I'm lucky, our island is just off set of the direct line of the dishwasher. Let's hope it lasts at your house for a few more years Eric !!
Well heck Danny, thank you for such a candid and supportive comment !! Some of my older videos have what I think are interesting stories in the description box that may or may not be pertinent to the videos. This is my way of providing insight to my yet too young or unborn grandchildren into the lives of their long dead grandparents. As they say, once its on the internet it never goes away, so I figure they may stumble onto some of the content someday and get to see how we live and what we did out here in the country. Think about it, wouldn't it be great to stumble on a bunch of old pictures or notes today that were written by your own G-grandpa..?? Thanks again for the visit. Stop by anytime buddy !!
@@tractorman4461 I have often thought the same thing you are commenting about. I have read and researched one of my ancestors and learned a lot about him. He has a lot of information written about him but only because he was partly instrumental in the early industrial revolution. I also would love for my grandkids to know about me and some of the things I did but I never take time to document it to the extent that you do. I need to do better in that department for sure!!! By the way, the ancestor I was speaking of was Isaac Singer. Singer sewing machine company.... He is 4 generations back. I used to talk with my grandmother and loved the stories she told of her grand father.
LOL!!! I bet you were an awesome Alter-boy!! Yeah, I never saw or heard a dishwashing- machine when I was little. I think they change fittings and locations of stuff under dishwashers every year. I've replaced three here and every one has been different to hook up. 🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂
Hahahahaha...I never missed serving the 6:00 Sunday Mass one single time from the 4th to the 8th grade by golly !! LOL. True Story. I remember in the 6th grade telling Sr Mary RoseLima, my teacher, that my Dad said it was ok for a priest to kiss a nun as long as he didn't get into the habit.... Man o man did she laugh !! I always liked her. She was all of 4'10'' and a real spitfire of a nun. I'm sure she's long gone by now, because in '63 she had to have been 35 to 40 even though we thought she was ancient at the time. So she'd be knocking at a hundred or more now.
I'll probably be doing this job soon. The old dishwasher has been working OK, but has some weird thing going on with the lights on the control buttons. Once in awhile, one of the lights will be flashing, and won't let you cycle the machine. If I latch the door shut overnight, it usually works come morning.
Oh they can be aggravating to troubleshoot too, with all the sensors sending signals to the control board. They usually operate on a very low DC voltage for all the controlling through the circuit boards. Good luck and I hope yours makes it through the holidays....they (holidays) are expensive enough as it is.
hey tractorman, great install video! gotta keep the missus happy, a man after my own heart i see! i detected a makita powertool, must say that surprised me a little, thought you would be into dewalt or milwaukee.
I have those too Phil. Quite a few DeWalt and a few Milwaukee too. I even have a Bosch little one for your pocket. This Makita has a funny story. A buddy found it laying in the middle of the road at a stop sign. He swooped it up and then promptly set a sign at the intersection announcing he had found a drill. He said to call his number and describe the drill and he'd give it to whoever it was. After two weeks without a call, he sold it to me for $20 because he had no use for it. LOL. I have the older version of this in an mpactor and drill with the same 18v batteries so I was setting perfect !! It is an awesome impactor too !!.
Nice machine Wendell, I have a Bosch as well, strange to see you need the wire it, our machines comes already connected on a lead, just plug it into the wall socket and we use only 220 Volt, nothing is 110
I think there are different requirements for different countries regulations. None of our appliances except a refrigerator, microwave or coffee pot come with a cord here, washing machines too. I'm sure there are others. All dryers, ranges and dishwashers have to have them added. The Bosch I removed did have an actual terminal strip to hook to, but the new KitchenAid only had stripped pigtails.
Thank you Zane and I hope it last a long time too. The Bosch cracked right down the center of the plastic door. Actually it was some kind of composite material.
Hahahahaha...yeah I get ya !! Luckily this time, the old leather pouch from 40+ years of hvac service had everything I needed !! Thanks for the chuckle my friend.
Yes, this is a relatively easy installation for folks who are thinking of buying a new 'washer. Coincidentally, just yesterday, I think it was, I say an advertisement for a new type and style of Bosch dishwasher. Haha! ( too late guys, he's gone over to the competition ) On that plastic film that's used on a lot of stuff these days My dear old friend had some 'professionals' install a new overhead garage door, and it was covered with this film too. I mentioned this point, and that it should now be removed. They told me and my friend, "Oh no, don't pull that off, that's the protective coating that stays on and the sun will dissolve it without a trace in a few days." This is the honest to god truth in what they told him, and you know what, he believed those guys too, no matter how much I politely protested. Well, my buddy's door looked like the worst case of dried up skin from a sunburn that I've ever seen, AND by then, the remaining bits of film will not come off now. This is a true story, so help me, and as far as I know the door is still a mess to this day, and this was about 10 years ago. It's a good thing, I suppose, that this door is around the back and down under his overhead rear deck.
Dang...!! Those boys pulled a fast one on him didn't they. That's like my old buddy that passed. One day I noticed what was odd about his house. It had not a single baseboard. I asked him what's the reason. He told me when he had the house built the general contractor told him ...oh, the new fad is no baseboards, people are really liking the way it looks now. Now aint' that something. Another fast one pulled on an unsuspecting and trusting customer. That protective plastic has got to come off if its an outside project. We have some supremely high quality colored sheet steel we used. We'd have to fold up the projects then remove the plastic before assembly and it was a pain too. But with that material scratches were not to be tolerated.
Speaking of the "Engineering Table", wonder what genius thought that putting a garden hose washer on the hot water fill line in a hard to access location was a good idea? Guess the old tried and true 3/8" male iron pipe X 3/8" compression 90° was just too difficult.
Yeah, and I wonder how many DIY'ers cross threaded it on install and ruined the inlet solenoid threads too. Ya just gotta wonder what those guys think while they are designing stuff don't ya.
Again, such installations is not according to insurance in EU, you should have leakage protection under it . In case of leakage, water can trigg the leakage detector ( in case if your dish washer according to EU directive) I think in US they don't care so much value about it. Greeting from Sweden
There's a pan that can be purchased put underneath there and it slopes to one corner and a tube goes through the floor and then you connect a rubber drain tube and focus the water to wherever you need to. As far as leakage detector I don't see how that's going to much.
So far Paul, the local as well as the national building codes do not require such additions to dishwashers in a residential setting. But they do with water heaters, air handlers and some washing machines. Commercially we installed auxilliary drain pans without additional drain lines but with an added moisture sensor that would shut the system down the instant it senses water. Some municipalities would require a separate drain on that drain pan though and not moisture indicator. On Liebert computer room units an external moisture sensor was required to be remotely installed under the raised decking to initiate an audible alarm and shut off cooling. But the air movement would continue. Different countries and their counties require different things.
10 day the wife and I were talking about things. I reminded her about the time when she used to complain about me fixing things. That's been some time back I would leave the tools underneath the kitchen counter for example. Just in case I needed them quickly in order to tighten up a hose or something that might spring a leak after installing the dishwasher for example. Now I know the story but she didn't bother to tell me the second half of it until recently. They were talking at work and her friends say you mean your husband actually uses his tools. Mine just shines them up and leave them in the garage. Can I hire your husband to come over and work with his tools for me. If you catch any innuendos in that, most of them were big flirts. I simply looked at her with a straight face and said give me a hot young blonde? Go by the smack she gave me, apparently she did work with a hot young blonde, that I don't remember. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 . Well thanks for the laugh because the memory came to mind. I think you did an excellent job explaining how to install the dishwasher. Looks like a nice kitchen
I probably wouldn't survive a wise crack like that with the Missus....she'd have me out on my ear with that one. LOL. Most of the Missus' lady friends are either single, divorced or widowed...so I've gotten the pleasure of being a husband for hire on occasion to address anything from a broken air conditioner, to garbage disposal to furnace, to golf cart, to sump pump, to furnace, to automobile, to lawnmower......shall I go on ?? LOL. It's all good though because they are all good ladies that just need a little help.
Hey Tractor man 44 how's a coffee chat about your past life in Sheet metalworking, maybe how popular you were in high school and when and how the WIFEY captured you.
Well Mr Walker, that's a good idea....but probably nobody would be interested in such a boring story !! LOL. I still have a few sheet metal vids in the editing lineup....they will be coming one of these days. Just that there is always something coming up !! Thank you my friend for the suggestion. Have a wonderful evening buddy.
