Great story, Moni! I've seen so many old places with similar problems! I lived in one before building this house and we had light switches that didn't work anything.. or at least didn't seem too, pipes that were sealed off, holes in the floor where pipes USED to be... yup, old houses can be LOTS of fun!

Scholarcs, definitely tell your folks to dry out the floor. A heater of some sort aimed at the base of the dishwasher could help, then, as Moni pointed out, try a crowbar!
Earthdog! Wonderful! [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img] Maybe I'll tell the one about the 'sump pump from the black depths....' later! LOL, now THAT was a repair that tried my patience!
LoA, what? You'd rather flush ONCE than 3 times per use? Silly male, how efficient...LOL Really, I DO see that we aren't saving much water with the 'low flow' version. As for your chores, hey! Weren't you gonna put a drop ceiling in my basement?!
