excuse l/c; typing one-handed; broken wrist
my dishwasher "died" a few months ago. probably could be revived;
problem is that water won't enter.
from liitle research i have done, 13-year-old d/w not economical to
repair. can't afford good new one and
don't wany to buy c**p.
2-person household can do nicely w/o d/w.
friend said she removed d/w and converted space to drawers
i could use shelves; drawers seem very expensive, what with the
carpentry.
what does group think?

Do what you want. Be aware, thought, that dishwashers save time,
water, and energy over hand washing and quickly pay for themselves.
I'd take the shelf money and put it toward a dishwasher.

*Matching existing cabinets can be difficult and expensive. Think in terms
of resale value. I vote for a new dishwasher.

Or just use the dead one to store pots and pans, and either replace at
sale time, or knock a few hundred off the price so the new owner can
choose whatever they want. If you won't be using it, best to not put in
a new one- they don't take kindly to being used a few times and then
ignored. Seals dry out, things leak, etc.

I would probably find an economical cabinet - assemble yourself - put
some wheels on it and park it in the space. Sears has lots of kitchen
accessory cabinets and carts, available with lots of choice of features.
Using something like that leaves the space ready for dw if you sell
the home or decide to install one later. I rarely use my dw - only for
company.
