On Sunday, two additions were added to 60 Chestnut Street…a new washing machine and dryer!! Woo hoo. This is exciting for me, as I am usually the one who does the laundry and complains the whole time. Although Andrew has been helping out quite a bit since the bump has grown larger.
Since moving into our home four years ago I have been WANTING a new washer & dryer (w&d), but we did not necessarily NEED a new w&d. Well on Sunday my want finally turned into a need. I will admit that past few weeks the machine has been making interesting noises, but I tried my hardest to ignore them. The machine stopped, no water had drained, clothes were saturated with water and there was a burning odor filling the basement. Poor Andrew ended up having to shop-vac (what a great purchase) the water out of the machine. Two hours later the dryer finally dried the clothes.
While we did not need to get a new dryer, we went ahead and splurged ( how lame are we to consider this splurging). I will give our old w&d some credit considering they were at least 20 years old (I know we were not being energy smart with those beasts). The additions will be delivered on Thursday and I can say I am looking forward to testing them out. Plus, with all the dirty baby stuff in our future, a new machine and dryer was probably a smart purchase.
