Wonderful Busy Day

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!!!

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!
