At least it looks like it is right now. We made two trips on Monday to pick up a new
washer and dryer. We discovered the
power was out in the neighborhood after we got back with the second load (the
washer). So of course nothing was happening
as far as hookup was concerned. I
grabbed a book light and headed out to the patio to sit and read where it was a
bit cooler than the house. The power was
restored a little after 9PM. I was happy
because sleeping would be better with a fan and I could set the alarm so I’d
get up for work in time.
After work on Tuesday we got the dolly and hauled the washer and dryer into the house and hubby got them hooked up. We ran our first load in them today and they work as expected. Yippee! This set is old-fashioned looking, but I really don’t care as long as they work. We decided on Speed Queen because it’s the most durable one we could find with the best warranty. This set is made industrial strength, so everything is metal. There are no plastic parts or fancy electronics. I think we’ll be very happy with this and it should last us the rest of our lives, I hope.
As far as other news, I’m taking care of the neighbor’s cat again for the next three days. This is Sherry’s last trip of the year, supposedly. The cat, Snuggles, was very happy to see me tonight.
I’ve been saving for months and finally got my new laptop
today. I’m thrilled with it so far, but spent
most of the day loading programs and getting to know the computer. The screen sure is small compared to my
desktop. My other laptop quit working
little by little quite a few months ago.
This one came with a nice Office 2010 program so it’s quite different
than my old Word 2003, which I loved. Now
I have to learn this one when I have time.
At least this gives me mobility so I can take it when I go to Texas to visit
family.
Here's to the new washer and dryer :) I was disappointed in the fact that the washer we bought less than a year ago for the renal house son/family is living in already had "issues." Sad they just don't make things to last these days, isn't it?

Betty,
DeleteThey definitely make things to wear out. And there aren't cheap appliances anymore, so for what we have to pay for them we should get something to work for at least ten years. All this stuff with the advanced technology is not made very well in my opinion.
Thanks for reading.

I love the classic look and hope you get many years of great service from them!
ReplyDeleteCarol,
DeleteIt's hard to find an old fashioned model anymore with all the technology out there. I think I'll be very happy with these.
So far everything is fine.
Sunni
Hopefully everything now works as intended.
ReplyDeleteLiz,
DeleteSo far everything is working like it should. That's a relief because there are a lot more things to worry about than washers and dryers that don't work.
