One Thing After Another

I completed the job of shortening the counter top and installing the freezer so that it can be easily accessed.  Along the way there were a number of challenges but I have met most of them with no particular trouble.  The most troubling remains with us, the failure of the fix on the water line to the dishwasher.  I imagine that the solution lies in replacing the valve.  We just need to know what size to get.  Today is Christmas Eve, my oldest son's birthday.  I prepared a jar of beef bits for him.  I hope he is able to use them.
