About time

SO excited!  Been washing everything in sight that might even be a tiny bit dirty!! Well, not so very excited that had to spend the money, but!!!  Have had the old washer since probably 1995 and this week it just stopped spinning, between one load and another, and of course had all of the dog bedding in there, soaking wet... hanged them on the line to stop dripping, then put them in the dryer....  and the washer i am sure was from 1978, and came with the house and everything looks like it has not been replaced... it still worked but was making noises.. so just bit the bullet... and it is just oh so very nice...

Got them from Lowe's.. thought i would use my Lowe's card and use Veterans 10% discount, well that did not go as planned.... the card had not been used in 8 years, so they had cancelled it and the veterans discount was 'pending' guess me or someone never finished with the application,  and now it is all done on line. and it would not apply anyway as there had already been a reduction is price... on some of the items... cuz of course you don't just get the set, you also need a new filler hose and hoses to hook up the water and drying vent hose and on and on... THEN they did not install the dryer hose as there was 'something' with the hose going into the wall, and had i not said something they were taking off with the hose!!! Well, i paid for it, and i DO want it replaced as the old one is. well.... old and filled with 'fluff'.. i had tried to vacuum it out but that only goes as far as the attachment... and am sure that all of this could have been accomplished had there been a handy person around, but lo' i really have no handy man, only one for landscaping...

BUT.... am very happy with the washer/dryer, they match and do an incredible job!!! Use not alot of water and there is no agitator, and can see thru the lid, don't know why i find that fascinating but i do... even can see into the dryer, so i could take a chair or pillows and blankets and curl up on the floor and watch the clothes go round and round and round in the dryer.   :) There all kinds of settings, more than a normal person would every need, so there is some decision making involved... read all the directions, which was so fun and thrilling.... but hink i have a grasp.

Soooo this was the huge excitement for the week.... so easily entertained, having something new is always fun and exciting...

Hope all is well in your neck of the woods..  OH, it has been absolutely almost balmy here, weird... wonder if it is the calm b4 the storm

Take Care and God Bless

  1. There are times when I really miss having a washer and dryer. But using the laundry room here at the park, three loads of laundry are done in less than two hours which is nice. Skitz's colitis has been acting up again so we've been doing a lot of washing dog stuff. And throw rugs. Always fun.

    Keep on enjoying the new show at your house.

  2. Lowe's will sell you the store if they can get away with it. They wouldn't put the new air hose on said because it was gas... What did that have to do with the vent hose. I took all the extras back for a refund.
    Enjoy the new washer n dryer. I wonder what the attraction is about watching the clothes wash. I don't have glass lid but on the older machines you could leave the top open and I would watch. LOL
