OK so this is something that's been going on a long time

When I set up shop here at the loveshack, a plumber came out and hooked up the dishwasher.

Unfortunately he connected it to the cold water and not the hot water, and the result is the dishwasher is ineffective.

I would like to address this once and for all. The reason I haven't done so in a year is because I am paralysed by knowing it should be a simple plumbing matter. I should be able to do this myself.

Plumbing people, should I not be able to do this myself? I could do it in two ways. I could swap the cold and hot before they come into the kitchen. Or I could do a complicated process involving cutting on copper pipes and the installation of a T fixture with compression joints or some shit like that and pretty soon I lack the attention span to see it all. And then I feel bad about myself, and pretty soon I abandon the idea.

I would like your help to prevent this, without requiring expensive therapy.

I see where, in the basement, they have a blue and a red PEX pipe coming directly from the hot water heater. They are tied onto the copper pipes using what looks like a rubber band. It's some kind of PEX clamp or something. I think it means you have to have a special tool to manage this special kind of clamp.
