Ya'all may well be weary of listening to my woes, but I am elated... both of us are elated....Among the alternatives was to run the hot water line up and thru the attic, which presented potential problems in and of itself. Another alternative was to rip up the kitchen/dining room floor, which would have been terribly expensive to repair. In the end, we chose to place a 2.5-gallon electric (110V) water heater underneath the sink to supply hot water to the dishwasher and the kitchen sink. We questioned whether it would supply enough hot water to the dishwasher to get the job done. After researching dishwashers, we determined that the dishwashers of today "pre-heat" during normal cycles, ergo our decision. The installation was completed early yesterday afternoon and after running the dishwasher, we declared it a wise decision. Sherry is a happy camper. The kitchen sink is a very long way from the existing water heater, and historically, it took forever for the hot water to make the trip from heater to sink. A happy wife makes for a happy Dougster...I love it! The Dougster :-)*

Glad you got the problem solved. Sounds like a good decision. I know my dishwasher heats the water also. Stay out of that hot sun. How is your pond doing, or is there any water in it?

Louise, the pond has been dry for almost a year now.. I bought and spread about six tons of bentonite so that when it does rain again, hopefully the pond will hold water. Thus far, it's a VERY expensive hole in the ground.. lol :-)** On Thu, Jun 16, 2011 at 11:28 AM, Louise Valine <antique1931@saber.net>wrote: > Glad you got the problem solved.

Hence the old saying "if Mama ain't happy ain't no one happy."
