Hobart:
Repair came twice, tune of over $700. He fixed the door, replaced
several parts, removed flow restrictor because we had insufficient
water pressure, and suggested we delime once a month and consider
adding an in-line water heater because it's not getting hot enough for
first few washes due to distance.

Start researching new style hobart at beginning of year, to coincide
with 5-year visioning.
