Danny and Joe welcome callers’ questions each week on the Today’s Homeowner Radio Show.
Here’s a question from our Oct. 05 broadcast:
Steve in North Carolina says, “My wife and I purchased a condo as a 2nd home. We are upgrading the kitchen and we’re going to replace the dishwasher.
The problem is 10×10 tile has been put down and the tile lip is higher than the legs on the dishwasher and I can’t get it out.
We are going to replace the laminate countertop with granite, so I can lift the old dishwasher out and put in a new one, but in the future, if the dishwasher breaks, how will I get it out? Anything I can do to allow future removal?”
We told Steve he could remove the spacers under the dishwasher to give him some more wiggle room. He can use quarter-inch pieces of rubber similar to garage flooring and place those where the dishwasher legs were.
Listen to the embedded audio clip above for the answer!
