So, I took out my old, awful dishwasher, and am replacing it with a nice, new one.
I wasn't prepared, however, to need new hoses for the new appliance. You've find the picture that I'll attempt to attach that there is a lazy Susan cabinet between my dishwasher and sink. It would seem easy enough to run the hoses, but here's what I'm dealing with:
-I currently have a rubber water input hose. The lady at Sears sold me a new, braided metal one, saying that new machines connect differently, whatever that means. I figure it's best to replace the rubber to avoid a blowout, anyway. The new hose is only 8' long, though, so I may need to get a longer one.
-I tried to pry out the baseboard, only to find that the piece closer to the dishwasher is almost completely rotten, and I can't figure out how to get out the strong part of it.
-If you look in the area where I pried out nasty, rotten baseboard, you can see the other piece (the one closer under the sink), going probably another foot under the lazy Susan.
-I tried prying off the the interior of the dishwasher space, next to the lazy Susan, only to find plywood behind it, that seems to be structural - at least very difficult to move.
-The drain hose is hooked (as in a 'u') such that it would be difficult to connect it into the dishwasher drain pipe, which runs straight out the back. It also runs directly into the side of the garbage disposal, rather than being attached to the underside of sink, so as to avoid water going back into the appliance.
I've done basic electric and plumbing in my home, and figured this would be no sweat ...
Any and all council would be appreciated ... I apologize for the lengthy, probably difficult to understand, description.
