Due to our ongoing remodel, and the various tentacles of it that stretch into many parts of the house, the new water heater (the on-demand, hanging on the wall kind) "needed its space." Technically, it needed more room in front of it to satisfy the hunger of the county inspectors to make people change things to suit their rules and whims. So, since the laundry area and the water heater were sharing, we decided to get stacking front loaders for the laundry to give the water heater some room (if not privacy.)
Who would have thought it could be so thrilling to replace the washer and dryer? i must admit to having felt quite spoiled for years, since even in our first apartment as a married couple we had our own washer and dryer in our own attached garage. Oh sure, over the past nearly 31 years washers and dryers have come and gone--hand me downs, occasionally purchased, but always the same types. But THIS time....it's a brave new world!....stacking, front loading, water saving--the kind they've been using in England for years (the smartie pants.) PLUS, i have this all new and cool shelf system just to the right of the units, leaving plenty of breathing space between the shelves and the water heater. It's all very cool.
It's pretty sad, though--here we are, doing the 50's commercial-speak, admiring our bright whites, and being serious about it. Even Dynamo, our most curious dog, has sat in front of it a few times and watched the washer spin, wagging his tail.
For a few more weeks at least, laundry will be fun.

Fun? Laundry? Where do I get some of those new fangled washer machines that make my laundry fun again!? lol! I remember the most fun I ever had doing laundry was when we finally moved into a house with a washer and dryer hookup so that I didn't have to lug the laundry to the laundromat every week. That was ages ago. It has long since turned to drudgery again. I think I need a new fangled dishwasher as well. Maybe that will make doing dishes fun for a while as well. And while we're at it, I'll add a robot maid to my list so that dusting and vacuuming will be fun ....
Likely none of it will come true any time in the near future. But a girl can dream, can't she? ;-)
