Great videos Darren!

Yes work has begun on breaking another hidden cycle and bringing roto-rack action into full view. Glass door has been completed and works completely leak-free. Next steps moving the wires so they run down along the edge of the door and moving the detergent dispenser to the side of the machine.

Genius, and so cute, too. :-)

I was over on one workbench working on a vacuum project, and couldn't help but quietly take a few pictures of Robert at work. 

 

He didn't know I took the pictures.  Sneaky!  :-)

 

Hard at work, extending and securing the wires around the window...

He looks to be about 12 years old in that lost in thought pick.

 

Perhaps he has found the fountain of youth!

Blue bliss. This'll be really somethin' when you open the curtain.

 

Robert, your nice head--is that gel or sweat? It was a slow-roasting 115 degrees in Minnie yesterday.

Its been hot Mikey, but no where near 115 (ouch that would hurt), 95 for a few days, unless of course you mean inside the dishwasher, then its 150!

I've cut the hole for detergent dispenser...

And here is the detergent dispenser all installed and the wetting-agent dispenser as well. Both work like a charm!

The interior lighting comes next, then I need to cut a new vent at the top and finally the outer door panel needs to be cut and painted.

Wow Robert, you're really coming along on that project.  I can't wait to see the final result!  I remember being mesmerized by the roto rack "show" at Sears.  With this machine across from your Kitchenaid a person could get whiplash watching both in action!  
 
REMOUNTED DETERGENT DISPENSER

Robert you are going to have to tip the DW on its side to fill these LOL. I know that you probably intend to use the little tablets but these often foam too much especially if you use more than one. Although you could take old ice-cube trays and mold your own tablets by using powered detergent and making it damp and then freezing them and storing them in the freezer.
 
I know that you probably intend to use the little tablets bu

Yes, my design is made for the detergent tablets, the have worked just fine in the KA for two years and them seem to do a good job in this machine as well. I never found a need to use more than one. We've stocked up with about 2 - 3 years worth of phosphated Cascade detergent pacs which really don't foam much at all. That's one great thing about the window is you can really see what is going on in there.

You can even fill the Jet-Dry dispenser easily, although you can't fill it as full as if it was laying down, you still can fill it 2/3rd of the way up before it runs out the fill hole.
