excuse l/c; typing one-handed; broken wrist

my dishwasher "died" a few months ago. probably could be revived;
problem is that water won't enter.

from liitle research i have done, 13-year-old d/w not economical to
repair. can't afford good new one and
don't wany to buy c**p.

2-person household can do nicely w/o d/w.

friend said she removed d/w and converted space to drawers

i could use shelves; drawers seem very expensive, what with the
carpentry.

what does group think?
