Best Laundromat Ever!


As soon as the floor was finished, I went to work on the paint and trim in this area so we could move the washer and dryer in permanently - they don't work so well in the middle of the living room. During the kitchen remodel, the laundry area was moved so we went without a washer and dryer. Once the plumbing rough-in was finished, we attempted to use the washer but that was a disaster - the drain was capped off somewhere under the house and water splashed all over the floor during the spin cycle. A few times we put the drain hose into a 33 gal trash can but that was lots of trouble, too. It would fill the can about 2/3 of the way during one wash and that thing is pretty heavy to haul outside and dump. And we have a low water washer - I can't imagine how much water those top-loading numbers use. We survived by wearing clothes multiple times and resorting to clothes we haven't worn in years (not sure why we still had some of them). Heck, once we even broke down and bought Michael new socks - don't laugh, it beats going to the laundromat. Have you been to one of those places lately?
