I meant to post last night, but it ended up being a really busy, really late night
***
These were delivered early Tuesday morning
aren’t they beautiful
and shiny
and so pretty
they are going to solve all my problems
make my kids behave
make me lose 30 pounds
and make my PIC come home happy
***
well…..
not really
but they will make laundry a tad easier.
With my old dryer it took 4-70 minute cycles to dry a load of socks and kitchen towels. That same time for a load of Levis (with 7 people in the house I have a lot of Levis). A load of bathroom towels….oh wow….almost all day! I needed a solution…..
Ta-da……here is my solution….aren’t they pretty…..(sorry I think I already said that, but aren’t they?)
As soon as my PIC got home and ate dinner he got to work. These machines stack so we needed a little modification in the laundry room (really more like a laundry/pantry closet!)
I love a man wielding a power tool.
There is something so manly about it.
mmmmmmm……
Since the laundry closet had to be emptied, this is what our kitchen looked like, I also hadn’t cleaned up dinner all the way…what a mess….it is going to be a late, late night!
I need a coke!
Oh, Oh the washer is in…isn’t it pretty!!!
Oh, Oh the washer is in…isn’t it pretty!!!
Hmm….thinking…..thinking….thinking…..
“STOP with the camera!” he says
I feel like the paparazzi
ya-ho…the dryer is in
whoa
Houston, we have a PROBLEM
See the plug
See where the plug needs to go
problem
about six inches too short
(This is when the camera gets put down.)
After a quick call to Home Depo, a 90 minute trip into town, and a custom, 40$ plug made (they don’t just make them longer than about 6 feet) we are on our way.
And he is smiling again…
that is a good thing
a VERY good thing
And here they are!!!!
aren;t they pretty, and shiny and oh so nice,
and pretty
(sorry, did I say that already?)
See the first load turn round and round.
I think we stood there for about 45 minutes and just watched.
We are kind of boring people…
You know you are old when you get excited about a new washer and dryer.
And here we are all put back together, sort of.
I would like to put in cupboards, and a real counter top.
(I am saving my pennies!)
Before the washer and dryer took up the whole wall
it will be nice to have more space in there.
Aren’t they so pretty!
All I can say is that the appliance industry IS STUPID. Hey, lets make a stackable dryer, and put the power cord coming from the upper left corner. Hey, and then only sell cords that are 6 feet long. Oh, wait, the dryer stacked on top of the washer is over six feet tall. COOL, lets make everyone buy custom cords….
yeah!! That is really exciting, and yes, they are pretty!
PS Good job Mike, not only for putting the washer and dryer in but not breaking the Camera as Aimee was following you around with it!
Jerk.
(And by “Jerk” I mean, I have a rusty white washer and a dented black dryer, and yes, they are very pretty.)
Now I’m just jealous. Our washer died about 3 months ago and in the rush of I need one NOW and not having recently saved for it, we bought a cheap one off of KSL that said it was a super capacity, but when we got it home…. um NO…. it does about half as much as my old one used to. NOW we’re saving up for a new set. And YES they are VERY PRETTY, again, I”m jealous.
Yes! they are very shiny and oh so pretty! Isn’t funny what makes us so excited and happy!
I love the new w & d! THe are BEAUTIFUL!! And they use less detergent, and less power! Way to go green!
GREAT JOB. Love the Pictures. PIC, when you got mad, did you act like DAD. Hee Hee. MOMZoo, I bet that was fun, not. They are very shiny and pretty. And they will even look better with tiny hand prints all over them. Hee Hee. I hope one day, I will have shiny red ones.
Kristi, Funny you mention that about red ones, I almost did get red ones! Mike didn’t love the color so much and I guess I liked the silver better.
OOO… sooo pretty!! They are very similar to what I am hoping to get. I never thought of stacking them!
Thanks for sharing 🙂
