An Exciting Time

Look what was delivered today!

What is it?

The fellows from Lowe's moved it into our workshop. Can you tell yet what it is?

Yea, it is a washer-dryer combination.

We have even done two loads of wash today. For nearly 7 years, we have done the laundry exclusively in laundromats. I haven't minded. That way, I can get everything for the week washed and dried in about 2 hours. But where we are now, once the park is full in February and March, the laundry room isn't large enough to accommodate everyone. We had to work around others, make sure we were there by 7 or 7:30 in the morning or wait till afternoon. You could never be a little late to move clothes from the washer to the dryer or to fold the dry loads. Someone was always waiting to use the machine.

So it is great to have our own equipment and be able to wash whenever we want. I am amazed at how large the wash tub and dryer drum are. I was afraid they would be as small as a stackable apartment size washer and dryer we had in one condominium we rented. This is going to be a good deal.

And notice the water softener next to the washer? That was delivered this week, as well. No more mineral-filled, bad-tasting water. The water in Arizona is really awful.
