Just finished installing my dishwasher and realized I forgot to remove that little plastic plug thingy from the drain hose... water everywhere, you know? Quick poll: DIY dishwasher install or call a pro? Curious how many brave souls we got here.
DIY can be tempting, especially to save some cash and feel accomplished... but honestly, dishwashers involve water and electricity—two things I personally don't like messing around with. Had a friend who flooded their kitchen floor and ended up damaging the subfloor, mold issues, the whole nine yards. Sometimes it's better to play it safe, spend a bit upfront, and avoid costly repairs later. Glad your mishap wasn't worse though!

Yeah, I get that... but honestly, with enough YouTube tutorials and patience, it's doable. Did mine last year—took forever, but saved a decent chunk. Still, your friend's story makes me rethink my bravery a bit, haha.
