I had my share of nightmare attic jobs, trying to reinforce between studs to install ceiling fans where there was barely room to do anything but slither on my stomach through fiberglass insulation in 140 degree heat. (it gets damn hot in those attics)

99% done. We are successful on all fronts; I just have a pesky leak where the hot water line feeds into the machine. I'm going to wait until it's dry tomorrow morning and redo the connection tightly, with new teflon tape. Make sure there's no leakage. Push the beast in and screw it down. Then I'm going to turn the breaker back on and wash some dishes.

I admire your perseverance. {#Cheers}
