As a Landlord: Appliances Are a Differentiator
Dishwasher, washlet, IH cooktop, bathroom dryer u2014 these are becoming must-haves. Installing them is an investment in rental income and long-term tenancy.
Hi, it’s DIY Dad.
Project KS u2014 price negotiation. The counterparty’s asking price was far above DIY Dad’s target. I had a specific angle to negotiate from u2014 a certain right in the transaction that would be unfavorable to me going forward. Used that as leverage through the contractor’s rep.
Continuing the 1F kitchen renovation. The dishwasher is seated. Now working on the plumbing (water supply and drain).
First, routing the hoses at the back of the dishwasher. The gap between the back of the machine and the counter wall is 37mm u2014 can we route them through there? Let’s try.

The hose outer diameters (including reinforcement) are 25mm for supply and 20mm for drain. Running them parallel vertically should work.
