Title: Pretty good idea I thought.
Post by: POSTON WIDEHEAD on December 03, 2013, 09:02:21 PM
Our dishwasher went bad this morning. I ran to Lowes, picked up a new one and installed it.

I kept the fork and knife rack out of the old dish washer. Well you can see....it holds all your sawmill goodies pretty well. I'm gonna screw it to the side of my HD box on the mill for all my "quick grab" stuff.  :)

You can probably find one at a recycle center.

How much did it cost you to con the wife into thinking the washer was bad so you could have the rack?

Sawmill money came in handy, just like the basket. And you follow orders to a Tee. Just like me. I replaced ours about 2 yrs. ago. I couldn't believe how quite the new one is. bg

The over-the-stove microwave died on Thanksgiving Eve.  I had to scramble to get to Lowes and to save Thanksgiving.  So far, I have not found a practical use for for the dead one at the mill. Maybe a rat proof safe for cheese crackers in my shop. Way to go, Post.

How long did it take for you to be able to see that dishwasher again? And tell us, how does it feel to get hit by a dishwasher?

Cut the power cord off, close to the back of the MW so it can't be accidently plugged in.

Take the old MW to camp, they make a great mouse & squirrel proof breadbox!

Yup, and it makes a good storage place for little shop things that you want to keep dust and dirt dauber free.  The glass turntable makes a good serving tray, too.

The question is, how many Poston Premium Hardwood Bar Top Slabs does a dishwasher cost these days. And how do they make change for one of those. ;)

Roghair, I've been looking for plans to make a cell phone zapper from the magnetron from a microwave. It could prove very handy when you encounter a fellow driver chatting on the phone while driving.  smiley_devil

Great recycling idea. I see a surge in dishwasher sales in the near future.
