As a Landlord: Appliances Are Now a Differentiator
Dishwasher, washlet, IH cooktop, bathroom dryer u2014 these are becoming standard expected fixtures. Installing them isn’t just a hobby u2014 it’s an investment in maintaining rental income and long-term tenancy.
Hi, it’s DIY Dad.
Project KS u2014 price negotiation went back and forth. Eventually settled at about 1/3 of the counterparty’s asking price, or 1.5x DIY Dad’s target. Just barely acceptable!
Moving toward the contract now.
Continuing the 1F kitchen renovation. The back-of-dishwasher hose routing is done.
For the water supply I decided to use hot water u2014 my thinking is that if the machine is already supplied with hot water, it might need less time to heat up internally, making cycles shorter. The supply hose end has a pump attached.
