The Toro’s transmission in the video (at address below) did not appear to be half as hard to remove and service as the one that we serviced due to the “Access Cover”. The cover allows you to see the mounting orientation vs working from the bottom. This was a wakeup call that my concentration was slipping vs being as steady on remembering and easily seeing new configurations. I respected that warning that it was time to pass on some projects vs allowing them to be frustrating and too time consuming.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> I did add a zerk grease fitting before packing the gear box since grease was below the gears. The sealed bearing was the problem in the gear box. It had dried deteriorated grease and too much resistance. The sealed gear was not damaged when I later opened, examined and greased the bearing (that appeared to have powder in it). The wheels on the Toro we worked on were w/o zerks and needed help. Working Well Today! Hopefully he adjusted the front wheels which appeared to be the need. https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video;_ylt=AwrSbDaBBh9VKGcAP0VXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTEzMXBjZGFoBGNvbG8DZ3ExBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDVklQMjI3XzEEc2VjA3Nj?p=The+20017+Had+a+Toro+Recall+On+the+Transmission&fr=att-ie8

I replaced my out of warranty Miele dw with F & P tall dd and love them. I had read about the problems and did purchase the extended warranty. I bought the dw locally and my installer assured me that he had installed LOTs of them and felt that most of the problems were due to installation errors. He seemed very confident during the installation as I watched him like a hawk. My dd has not given me any problems so far and I love being able to run small loads frequently. Sometimes I run my top drawer twice a day. I love having two cutlery bins. Occasionally a dirty piece of cutlery is left but that's about it. No way that my dd is as quiet as the Miele that it replaced but it is still not too loud. Perhaps, that is because it is in a space that is smaller than 24", since my Miele required a smaller space. The noise is not annoying. I would not hesitate to recommend the F/P dd. I love not having to bend over to load the top drawer and have to remind myself to use the bottom at least every few days.

live_wire_oak: thank you so much for your response. A few pictures: What is all the white stuff? What does this valve control? The dishwasher (DW) is to the Left of the sink, so is that the hot water line to the DW? Doesn't the drain to the sink looks like it's corroding on the bottom? And doesn't all the connection on the PVC look dirty/about to fail? Do you own a basin wrench? - Yes, I can borrow one. Do you have individual shut off valves to the hot and cold water under the sink? Yes, 2 shut-off valves. Do they just have the one outlet? Or do you have a DW coming off the hot and a ice line for the fridge coming off of the cold? - Yes, a DW coming off the hot line, but NO ice line for the fridge off the cold line YET. - (for the future  about 5years from now, when we hook up the all-freezer, weÂd like the ice line coming from the water filter line: 1. is that possible? 2. should we set it up now, knowing that when I hook up the freezer/ice line, itÂll be w/ a whole new sink in a different location? What type of supply lines do you have? Copper? CPVC? Pex? - The immediate supply lines are ?flexible (see pictures). Are you keeping the same sink? - Yes, itÂs an integrated Corian sink to the countertop. WeÂre keeping it for ~5 years. Then IÂll have to do this all over again when we put in new stainless steel sink and seamless stainless steel countertop/backsplash. Have you had a dedicated electrical circuit run for the InstaHot? (that means it's on it's own wiring all the way back to the breaker box) - No, I donÂt. Is that required for code? - Any thoughts/possibility to connecting it to the DW electrical line? My DW has its own switch (like a light-switch) that controls the power to turn it on/off (childproof reason). PVC waste piping rarely needs to be replaced. It doesn't get old and brittle like galvanized does. Most likely, you can reuse the drain piping just fine, or just leave it alone if you're not replacing the sink or disposal. - See picture: looks really old, threatening to leak. - No disposal (septic system). I appreciate any and all help. Thank you so much. Amanda

These were the custom line from Cabico and the damage to the boxes was definitely due to the hardware. As an update the boxes are all being replaced as well as the glides (but not the glides I wanted from Blum). The local rep did not inform me the boxes were also being replaced but once I asked about them he said the work order to make new ones was already underway. The local rep doesn't have the best communication but the company itself has definitely stepped up to fix their mistake. My garage is currently full of boxes and hardware waiting to be unpacked. Now I have to wait for a local kitchen installer to find time to do the work. It is work for us too since it will mean emptying out every drawer in the kitchen - something like 48 drawers!! Oh well it's a good way to reorganize and declutter I suppose.
