Over the last weeks our dishwasher has been showing its age. First, dishes not so clean, then even more not so clean. Craig, ever the handy husband pulled it apart and cleaned all the filters and hoses etc, but still, not so clean.

Today we bought a new one which will be installed this week. Yippee.
