washer and dryer

I don't think I mentioned how the washer and dryer installation went.  On Saturday, David cut a hole in the house, on the south side, and put in our dryer vent. The whole process only took about 2 hours and there were no last minute trips to the store for tools or materials (yea!).  Then on Monday, David stayed home in the morning and the people who delivered the machines were in and out in about 20 minutes.  They set the washer and dryer up, leveled them, connected them to the proper places, and ran an initial cycle on the dryer so it could be used later in the day. 

It is so exciting.  We've done 3 loads of laundry since we got them.  It is great, and I love that the dryer "senses" when things are dry so that there isn't wasted energy.  In fact, we choose a washer that is one of the best in energy efficiency, and so we'll get a $100 rebate from our energy/electric company.  Cool, huh?

I'm really looking forward to having our own washer and dryer!

I was wondering how the washer & dryer project went-glad to hear all is well. Isn't it nice to have your own laundry area?
I wanted to tell you that the tile floor in your basement matches the floor in my kindergarten classroom! When you wrote about it & showed the pictures, I thought they looked familiar.

I think the tile floor is pretty cool--kind of retro--and reminds me of grade school. Looks like they are still putting those sorts of tiles in schools! and yes, it is fabulous to have our own laundry--now we can do laundry on our time, not on the timeline of our neighbors!
