Mr. and Mrs. Wishy Washy

 

Ages ago we got a new washer and weeks later we got a new dryer. I got lots of questions about them and I never answered them because of all the stuffing that hit the fan. I was asked how I liked the impeller as opposed to a regular agitator. The answer is.....I love it. 

If I had loads of dirty kids clothes I might not like it but when you've got to wash a newly finished quilt it's perfect. It's nice and gentle. It swishes your clothes very slowly. The glass top lets you see what's going on at all times. I really like that. 

This is the lowest tech model that I could find and it still took some getting used to. It has a mind of its own-as does the dryer, and it will argue with you if you don't pick the right settings for the weight you just stuffed in it. My favorite part is the little song it plays when it's done. The matching dryer does it too and I find it strangely enchanting. 

The matching dryer took forever to get here. I had to go to another store to get it delivered. It was a headache. Then we didn't have the right exhaust tube thingy and that took another 2 weeks to get here. I also forgot to order the haul away service so the old dryer sat here in the way for another week until we could get the city to come pick it up. All these issues made us back off the kitchen remodel. I can't even imagine dealing with that level of DIY under these circumstances. 

Speaking of Mr and Mrs Wishy Washy....here's the 2020 selfie in front of the city tree. The place has been like a ghost town since the numbers went sky high a few weeks ago. That's fine with us. It's nice having the boardwalk to ourselves.
