I have the same problem, but I can't wiggle it AT ALL. I've run a small crowbar all around the space between the dishwasher and the cabinets/countertop, nothing seems to be holding it in place. I've turned the front feet so that they are actually off the floor completely by a good half inch. (flooring was installed up to the unit, so lifting it up and over the flooring is job #2.) Water line disconnected, lots of play in drain line, wires disconnected, upper two screws attaching it to the countertop removed, no glue holding it to the countertop (I saw installation), no side screws (I saw the two side screw covers, no screws coming out). At this point I'm going back to the suggestion about the tile not going all the way back, but in my case I think there might be a hole in the floor and one of the back feet is on the edge or otherwise stuck. That's all I can come up with. I'm going to try to find my crowbar, but this is looking harder and harder, especially with the flooring lip I'm going to have to contend with. NO WIGGLE OF ANY KIND even though I can run a small flat crowbar all the way around and the front feet aren't even touching the floor. It won't tilt, jiggle, move backwards or frontwards, or anything. At least I was able to find the water line and shut it off, which somehow fed into the basement and the shutoff valve was behind some insulation in the basement ceiling. I started this project by turning off the water to the house, thinking I'd be going without water for maybe two hours at the most . . .

very helpful info here. I was excited to see the Whirlpool best buy, but that is a pretty loud one, over 50 decibels, and has a plastic interior. There are a few Whilrpools that have stainless and are 47 decibels which look quite promising to me. Hoping this links to 3 which look REALLY good. Interesting because they are so similar in features, yet the weight on the first one is much less (not sure if it makes any difference but it's noteworthy).

Part of the reason for turning our attention to New England is that the transatlantic journey to the UK is already a difficult one for my mother. Last year we went, and she suffered with a partially diagnosed back problem that actually compelled her to have back surgery the month following our return home. She was in significant pain for much of the trip, but somehow managed to "keep calm and carry on" for the most part. She's over that physical problem now, but realizes that she moves much more slowly than ever before and it's just increasingly hard to get out and do/see as she once was able to. However, England maintains its "magical hold" over us both, so I can't say we've ruled out the trip that we've been planning ... just wanting to weigh all of our options, and it does seem that New England holds a number of good ones! As for what we like to do ... Well, we mostly just enjoy the experience of being in new places and seeing how others go about their lives. We are people watchers, and enjoy meeting locals. We like historic places (although we don't tend to spend a lot of time in museums), places that are quaint, charming, and beautiful. We like to dine out -- nothing terribly fancy, though -- and have a fondness for afternoon tea. We like ice cream. We like interesting, quirky shops. We like encountering interesting, quirky people. We like seeing things that are very much unlike things we would see at home. I watched a few YouTube videos last night on New England, one in which a man talked about HATING to drive in that part of the country. He said that particularly in the summer and fall, roads are horribly congested, but that some of it can be avoided if one gets off the main drags and heads for the backroads. Is that easily done? Re Martha's Vineyard -- I've read that it costs around $140 or so take a car over on the ferry. Does that sound right? Does that include the return trip? Renting a car on MV is prohibitively expensive. I have never spent any time in Boston (although I'll be flying through there in a few days). I've looked into flying into other places such as Hartford and New Haven, and it looks like BOS is going to be our only option for non-stop flights on AA.

@mccarroll16 There are 6 of us in the house, and our house is always the holiday house, so we are always cooking huge meals for the holidays. I've had to cook stuff out on my grill, inlaws bring their camping stove, etc. In a normal week we will cook 5 dinners, and usually have 3-4 large pots/skillets going and they never actually fit because they are too crowded. The Dacor I want is 48" with 6 burners, LOTS of space for each burner. I have a 35cm "Bigga" from Solidteknics that does not play well with other pans. I am pretty sure that on the Dacor is JUST might fit in it's own place. Our next choice is a Fisher & Paykel that has 8 burners. Also a realtor friend of ours suggested that having a 48" in a big house like ours, with a large kitchen would help the resell value. He told us this after we had pretty much decided to go with a 48". As for the drawers vs pull outs. We have a good mix of the two now and I don't like casserole dishes and things like that in a drawer. Mixing bowls and things, eh... With kids, they can easily dump stuff in a drawer, but a shelf requires them to do a little more work. I've heard mixed opinions on the resell value of a home that only has one or the other. Before I moved from Ohio my buddy and I built a pull out spice cabinet. It 6 or 8" wide and had three rows and you could get about 10 in each row. He bought like 60 matching containers and some fancy label stuff. The tops were all labeled. The next level down was "free for all" as he called it. He put his overflow or things that he didn't want in the top in there. The bottom was the "oil pit" where he has his cooking oils and things. I can't remember what he did on the bottom to help absorb and manage the mess that always accompanies them. On the OTHER side of his stove we had the utinsel drawer. The top had 3 "buckets" with the most commonly used stuff. There were 3 more on the bottom as well, and he put the less used ones and ones that were too tall in there. I'm pretty sure that one was 8", I know the "buckets" were 6" across. I am thinking that if I have 10-16" on each side that I could do something similar, but a little larger. Then in the corner it could just be a shelf that we use for the appliances we use MAYBE a dozen times a year.
