its really chilly outside!
Busy week , working on my little house...and I do mean little!
My new washer and dryer are Here!!My dirty days are over. You remember I told you all how my washer and dryer died along with my heat.. oh my.I got the Whirlpool Duet front loaders with pedestal drawers underneath and they do everything for you but brush your teeth three times a day!
I am very pleased with them. The doors are chest high on me and so no bending over to put clothing in, or take out. The dryer door opens in a complimentary fashion to the washer so you can just toss from one to the other. I was surprised by how little water they use!
Here is one of the pedestal drawers, they are very wide, very deep and will accomodate about 6 gallon bottles of detergent all in all. You can see the new floor under them also which is not complete yet but soon will be.I am also painting the walls a clean white made especially for laundry and bathrooms and it is mildew and stain resistant. I will be repainting the rest of the house a very pale Provencale yellow color which should go well. There is a whole lot of work to do and I am tackling things little by little . I am pretty handy with repairs and installations..(she said as things crashed to the floor.)
The drawer under the washer has just as much room under this bumpy thingy in which I store fabric softener sheets for the dryer.
I am fortunate to have a decent sized laundry room that leads to the back porch and yard. Its bright and has cabinets which don't show in the photos over the washer and dryer.They store things I don't use too often.
Next project will be new floors through out in laminate wood , new sofits and gutters, and new countertop and sink in the kitchen and finally a new central hot water baseboard heating system. Oh baby!!
the new washers look great, may you see much use from them for a long time and in good health
ReplyDeleteI love the new washer and dryer they are really clean looking.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy doing laundry in them.
I covet your washer and dryer...and floor and the fact that's nice sized room! :]
ReplyDeleteDon't covet the credit payments on them..sigh.
ReplyDeleteWhole place is around 1100 sq feet, so not a big place.
But laundry is not bad at 7ft wide by 12 ft long..with extra 4 ft in alcove for the appliances.Not large by big house standards but serviceable for me.
Nice machines. Are they strong enough to wash the dirt off a politician?
ReplyDeleteHave you painted yet? You might want to consider an anti-mildew primer given your location so close to the water (and your pond).
I am using mildew preventive paint made special for baths and laundry rooms.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I have such a nice washer and dryer. I am loving do my wash LOL.
I will stick a politician in and see though.
Hi Annie! Love your new washer/dryer duo. We're in the market for the same and are looking at the ones with the pedestals. Annoying that they charge so much extra for them. A friend of ours built stands himself for them but I admit I'd want the ones that come with. ;) Happy 2008! (((Hugz)))
