Spring Porch And Dishwasher Ending

The porch warms quite nicely on sunny days during spring and fall.  The cats love the warmth and access again while we welcome the warmth into the house as the porch will need to close again around sunset.  Temperatures this week will be nice, even up to the º70F range on Friday.  Still, don't trust March.

The porch, mostly neglected over winter, will need a cleanup.

One thing I haven't kept up on here is our new dishwasher; yes, there was a problem.  Within a week we noticed water under the sink.  Upon further inspection, it was leaking about a half cup of water every time we ran it, and from what I could see - and I'm too old and broken to be getting under sinks like that - it was coming from the connection between the hose from the dishwasher and the air gap that rises above the sink.  We got the company's installer back out to look at it and he concluded it was an issue with a defective hose and they would be in touch.  After a week, I called to get an update.  It was handled as a warranty issue so the new hose part was coming from LG, and LG would have someone out to fix it.  A week later, that day came and their guys agreed with my assertation that the connection was the issue, and they fixed it easily.  I was initially impressed with this company, the availability of product and ease of installation.  Still, it got corrected somewhat timely and at no cost to us, so I guess we're happy for now.

I've been ill since I first recognized last Thursday afternoon.  It's not been a good several days this week but I feel I must be on the better side of it by now, though I'm still getting symptoms if I'm late taking the cold meds.  Never the less, I must get back to work.  But I know what I'm scheduled for tomorrow and I couldn't ask for much better for a first day back from this.

Didn't the installers check it was OK and no leaks before they left having installed it the first time? Good job you noticed - it could have done a lot of damage to your sink cupboards. Glad it's now fixed though.

Hope you'refeeling better now - there are an awful lot of bugs around it seems.

And yay for warmer weather!

Good that you caught the leak early and a speedy response to repair it.
Bright skies with a mixture of showers, feels like a combination of April and winter!
Yes, lots of bugs around and nasty short colds. Hopefully you are on the mend.

Yes, the installer ran it a bit to verify everything, and the same person came back a week later to say the problem was the hose, not the connection. Lovely, eh?

Thank you both, I am on the mend but not fully well yet. This was a nasty one, bad cold or mild flu, but not covid.
