The dishwasher is bricked in? Sheesh, how did they even manage that?
Fortunately most things can be accessed by removing the kick plate.

Hi James,
I'm going to try to remove that kick plate later this week.
I unclogged the shower yesterday; it was filled with sand grains:

I unclogged the kitchen sink with a scissors today.

Notice the sand grains on my cutting board.
They were all over the place!

This new sand does not look like the "scale" that was in the galvanized

Where did all this sand come from?
