Shhhhhhhhh. Don't tell him, I will cut you in on it. Seriously if you need some help, I am in Louisville 6 out of 7 days a week, and I have put a few in myself. Just let me know.

You haven't put a new floor in or anything have you. I have had to loosen the countertops before because of new tile not being installed under dishwasher.

Nope... still linoleum at the moment... the tile comes in a few weeks. We would've gone tile initially but, because it was a builder-spec home, they got to pick what they wanted versus us getting what we wanted. It has some bad spots in it thus, we're working to get them to pay for the tile... I think we'll get there.

Hey Rockpick if you haven't tackled that dishwasher yet I got 2 more tips for you.
First on the newer quiet models the insulation blanket is pretty fluffy and it's hard to stuff into the hole. If you cut a piece of cardboard to cover the sides you can use them like shoe horns (dang I must be old) between the cabinet and the d/w. Slide it in then pull out the cardboard, this keeps you from damaging the insulation.
Second make a little doll house for your little girl. She can color the outside and you just cut out a window and door. This should keep her busy for a couple of weeks and she'll love it! I did that for my kids when they were little and now for my grand daughter (dang I must be old) !

**GREAT** ideas there, jgger. I especially like the shoehorn trick; that makes total sense.

My little girl will love the box.
