It was explained to me you're better off NOT washing / pre-washing / rinsing dishes before putting them in the washer. I've done the whole pre-wash thing before, and now I personally just load it up. About every week or two I have to clean out the little filter / trap that keeps food particles from doing down the drain.
Got it...buy some liquid DWasher soap put it in a liquid soap bottle and let the inlaws prewash with that...add very little to the machine and all will be no suds so problem overThis is a regular discussion…
MIL/FIL wash dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. Except they don’t wash the soap off.
More than once, I’m greeted by a dishwasher that’s overflowing with soapy suds.
So I typically have to take dishes out of the dishwasher, wash the soap off of them, then put them back into the expensive machine I bought that washes dishes for you.
Asking “do you wash your car before you take it to the car wash?” just results in blank stares LOL
For the garage conversion, MIL calls all the shots. FIL had just one request, and he was adamant about, like borderline angry:
I don’t want a dishwasher! LMAO
Now we know why the liquor portion of your monthly budget exceeds all your utilities combined.So we have this baby gate that separates Stetsons play room (AKA our living room) from the mud room and garage. It’s not good for babies to hang out in here, hence the gate.
This happened a few nights ago. MIL just came home from late bible study.
MIL opens and walks thru the gate, but doesn’t close it behind her. Baby is awake and playing.
Me: can you close the gate behind you?
MIL: yes, I close it every time
Me: turn around, you left open, can you close it?
MIL: who left it open? How can this be, I close it all the time
Me: you left it open, I just watched you open it and walk thru it. Can you close it?
MIL: we’ll somebody left it open and it wasn’t me
Me: facepalm LOL
You did that backwards. Them in there and their stuff in the garage.
Self closing baby gate door is the answer you seek btw.
Since I’m giving up my garage, in a few years I’m having the garage of my dreams built…that was the deal
The cheaper Kroger brand pods work wellYeah, I think it's Cascade that has the gel pods. We've been using them for a couple of years with halfway decent results. Our dishwasher is kind of a piece of junk, though, so that affects performance.
The built in machine or the household resident?I don't like dishwashers...
100%
I just knock the large chunks off and put them into the dishwasher.
I also make sure to get hot water coming out the tap before I start it up. And that’s only because I had waaaay too much time to kill one day, and watched this video.
Probably not quite that elaborate…but I do want room for at least 2 cars, a lift and a gym/workout areaDo I smell barndominium?
I never had the police called on me or had to call 911 for an emergency until I got married again and my wife brought her 20-something year old daughter (with her "intellectual disabilities") along. Then it happened three times in less than a year. Fortunately, the San Angelo PD told the daughter the next time they got called there then somebody was going to jail.
How fucking lazy are these assholes? I'd fill their trash can right back up.So this is a growing pet peeve of mine…
When they “take out their trash” it just means they’ve moved trash from a full can from one of their rooms, to an empty can elsewhere in the house.
Grrrr…I literally just eptied this trash can View attachment 343020 30 mins ago

Yeah originally we were gonna build them a separate unit, but material prices mixed that idea.If it wasn’t less than 10 mins from the house, I wouldn’t considerate because our next project is about a 4-year build. We’d prefer to have our own 40x60 shop on property but the last two years priced us out of that game.
