Looking at new dishwashers online as mine blew.

Also looking at new hardwood flooring for my kitchen, which is now destroyed because of said dishwasher :mad:

I don't know if you have one up your way, but there is a Sears scratch and dent place in Shrewsbury on RT 9. I've bought a lot of appliances there and all the warranties still apply.

I might look into that considering our plan is to be out of here in a couple of years and rent the place. How bad was the damage on the appliances? I'm sure it varies.

Usually not bad, some are just returned. I recently picked up a $1000 Miele for $450 and all it needed was a kickplate. Most of the dishwashers were Kitchen Aid or Whirlpool. I've also gotten fridges, stoves and washer/dryers there.

Do they have a separate website from normal Sears?

No, you have to go down and look for yourself. Bring a truck or you'll have to pay for delivery. A dishwasher will fit in the back of a subi though. You could call the store and ask them if they have a lot in stock.

I'll definitely look into it. Perhaps Sears has one around here to. That said, I'm more inclined to buy from the local appliance guy the next town over, even if it costs a bit more. Future mom in law has been buying from him for 20 years without issue.

Our Kenmore died after 3 years. Kinda sucks, but we hammered that thing almost every day so oh well. Plus it never worked that well. We replaced it with this:

Negotiated the price down to $685 at Bernie's. Love it. Cleans and dries so much better.

Doing well on the yard clean-up. Got all the perennial beds cut back and about 1/3 of the leaves cleaned up. We bought a sweeper that we just pull around with the tractor last year. A billion times better than raking. After the sweep, I'll hit it with the mower deck and bagger and it will be done. Sweet!

my back yard is a split level. stick figure profile would look like

back of house |_______/¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

what's on the top level I just blew into the fence

the rest I usually just use the leave blower/sucker to suck them into garbage cans and take them to the town recycling center.

there's way too many leaves for that today

Just got back from skiing at Sunday River. It was pretty wet, but it cleared off and the sun came out. The wind picked up and you can feel the temp dropping. Lots of snowmaking this week! :snow:

Interesting, ours was a Kenmore as well and was apparently new in 2004.

I'm looking for basic and durable in the $400 range if that even exists. We'll be renting the place eventually, so durability is all that really matters to me.
