[quote=Anonymous]Speaking of plate dimensions: if you plan on keeping them long-term, take your dishes to the appliance store and test them in the actual dishwasher you think you want.

We moved into our house this winter and when we ran the first dishwasher load, we realized that we could only fit 3-4 dinner plates in the rack because they had way too much play and would slap around and hit each other.

DH felt silly taking a bubble-wrapped stack of dinner, salad and side plates to the appliance place to try them in different dishwashers, but the salesperson reassured him that people did it all the time. I was surprised people knew to check that.

Also check your electrical panel now before you renovate. If you’re in an older house, you may be at the limits of your panel, or even worse, your service line. Our house was doubled in size in the 1980s but they didn’t upgrade the service line, so until we had extensive electrical work done there was just 20 free amps and we couldn’t add a single outlet or switch.[/quote]
