Sniff 'em, it's like a new car smell

Finally getting caught up with work at home, so time to dish with the photos. You all like photos, don't you?

The pride of the house, our new dishwasher. Ah, no more towels on the floor. When we got it installed there was a distinct sound reduction, but now I can hear it like normal. The on/off cycles are still a little jarring, but I'm getting used to them. I don't think we've had it long enough to see a difference in our water bill.


And here is the new heart of the house, our furnace. Where you see the line in the sheet metal over the furnace is where the last one rose to. This one is small. Very small, and it pushes much more air. And lookee at that tag. 95.5 AFUE. I really hope to see some small difference in gas usage this year.
