Chapter 3: What are Phil's thoughts on dishwasher stacking techniques?
Craig people are methodical about it. I'm just thinking, where's the water coming from, right? And there are clues, aren't there? There are nozzles. Ergo, the things, the parts that need cleaning most desperately should be facing the nozzles. So we're talking inside of the cups. And all with enough space in between.
Space is very important. I mean, some people literally throw their stuff into the dishwasher.
Some people have zero spatial awareness and it really shows in the dishwashing.
Chapter 4: Why does Phil have a bulk toilet roll subscription?

A dishwasher correspondent?
Yeah.
So if I came to your house then and opened your dishwasher unexpectedly and unannounced, you would not be afraid?
No, no, no, absolutely not. I'd be proud. I mean, right now you'd find it holding half a clean load. And I've saved the bottom shelf for when I get home.

Chapter 7: What lessons does Dilly offer about organization and space management?
How would you describe your home in a sentence?
Millennial. Millennial. Mid-century.
Mid-century millennial.
Well, furnishing-wise, I fell hook, line, and sinker for the whole millennial obsession with mid-century stuff, feeling like I'm a Danish architect.
Oh, lovely.
In a word, I would call my house a new build. A new... It is... There's no back wall in the ground floor.
