Our Previous Noisy Whirlpool Dishwasher

 On November 26, 1998 we did capture our noisy Whirlpool dishwasher...

It will soon have to come out and be replaced by the new Miele.

That was on Thanksgiving...

We had these appliances built in for 8 years and before we left for Indonesia, where we lived and worked, we hardly had the time for looking around for any better ones.

Installing Hot Water Machine and Showing Protruding Old Oven and Dishwasher

 Almost for 24 years we now use a Hot Water Machine in our kitchen for instant boiling water.

Meanwhile our 2nd got installed and we love to have that in our home!

This is exactly the faucet that we have on our kitchen counter.

Together with our Little Gourmet® Premium Hot Water Tank / Dispenser – Mountain Plumbing Products

On my Pinterest board you can see these 2.5 quart examples: https://www.pinterest.com/mariettesbackto/home-improvements/

On November 23, 1998 Pieter managed to build this in, under the counter.

A very tight spot for working there... 

Glad all that is done as it is not getting easier as we age 😏

Pieter had to change a pipe that lay at the top along—for now going underneath and secure it there again.

Because it was precisely in the spot where the Hot Water Machine will be hung!

Never easy but so far, Pieter has managed to do it all by himself—a hard working and very clever man.

Pieter jokes how conveniently it is working when being under the counter...

But, also this mega task got cleared!

That first faucet was in white with a safety lock for children; pulling it upwards.

Pieter had to drill a hole in the Corian counter top.

Further I wanted to capture how ugly that previous oven was protruding into the kitchen and also the dishwasher. That will become flush with the new Mieles.

Also showing the Whirlpool hood.

Pieter is mentioning that the entire box has to come out...

Projects are never easy and neither quick!

Stay tuned — will be continued.

Some Escada Jeans that I Scored

 Often for my European size 34 or American size 4, I really score big time!

Otherwise very expensive Escada jeans I managed to get for 4 pieces only for $ 121.00

One of the 4 Escada jeans I'm wearing here with my Escada silk blouse and Escada patent leather sandals.

The one I'm wearing here is a black one with a subtle gold stripe woven through.

Usually Escada jeans sell around US $ 425.00 so my 4 NEW ones were quite a score!

Yep, got these new with tag jeans for US $ 28.00!

The above label is from a size 36 or 6—depending on all cotton or with a little bit of stretch...

Happy with the perfect weather for getting to wear this.

The buttons on this blouse are like jewels...

Here you get to see them a little bit better and also the subtle stripe in my jeans.

This is the gray Escada jeans—one of the four... wearing it with my own sewing creation; silk vest.

Above all, those new jeans all had 32 inch inseam; which I need for my long legs.

When we arrived here in Georgia in 1983, I fell in love with some Jordache jeans!

Trying them on, I almost cried as they were shaped for women with saddle bags and I have nothing 'padded' on my hips and they were all like high water for me—too short!

Escada originally was Germany based, no longer as the founder, Margaretha Ley no longer is alive.

But it fits me like a second skin...

The leather coat I wear with the jeans is also Escada and another score.

Not bad for snatching that one up for about ⅙ of the original price...😉

Lovely buttons and all silk lined.
