Hurrah for Working Laundry



One of the first priorities after getting the house was undoubtedly having a working washer and dryer. Paying $10 in quarters for two loads of laundry was growing slightly tiresome and waiting to do laundry for as long as humanly possible was not shaping up to be such a great idea = scary, gigantic piles of laundry or wearing dirty clothes. 


Unfortunately, the dryer we purchased with the house was broken. After contemplating the best way to go about fixing this, we were surprised by a friend who was about to get rid of his old set and offered them to us. Thank you Rick!

It took a little effort, but we were able to get the working dryer into the basement. Before the installation, we ran into a couple of minor problems: dirty/moldy walls and a missing exhaust pipe.

We still need to do some cleaning and need to reposition the washer and dryer against the walls, but in the mean time we are  successfully washing our clothes. Hurrah!
