Our first completed house project! Yay!
Our home was move in ready, but we have a HUGE list of improvements we look forward to making (and then there’s another list of stuff our contractor will be doing!). The first thing Steven tackled and completed this week was installing a garbage disposal. We had one at our townhome and didn’t realize how much we used it until our rental house didn’t have one and it that made me loco (seriously – I got so sick of picking bits of food out of the sink to throw away).
Under the kitchen sink – before
The garbage disposal at the new house required some special attention because we’re on a septic tank. That’s the little blue box on the front of the unit – every time the disposer is turned on, it injects microorganisms in to the disposer to break down the food waste in the septic system. Gotta keep the new septic tank healthy!
Under the kitchen sink – after
Steven said it wasn’t too bad to install – he rerouted a few pipes and put in an outlet. And it only required ONE trip to Menards! Maybe everything will go this smoothly?! Ha!
And! We got to use it last night when we made dinner. Yay, home cooked food!!!!!!!!!!!
And sort of related (because it’s also in the kitchen) – we have more space in our kitchen/dining area, so Steven was able to bring home his espresso cart from the Fake Meats warehouse (he used it there, before)!
And bonus – we can put ALL the coffee things on/in it, which frees up counter space. Schweet! Eventually, I’d like to get a buffet for the wall next to the cart, to store serving platters and alcohol-y things in, but that’s a way down the road.
