Friday I'm getting a new washer and dryer. Yeah!

As many of you know, my old washer and dryer are from 1986 and just limping along. The washer doesn't want to turn off the water. It's held together by duct tape because the vibration made the thing literally come apart at the seams. The feet to balance it have been replaced, there are no more that fit it and the ones that are there are stripped. The dryer runs too hot and we have to shut it down. The belt slips out of place but goes back in and after it starts up and back out of place as it shuts down. We have to babysit our two appliances. The reason why I haven't been online much lately is for a good reason. I'm precleaning and a friend of mine is finishing the cleaning and then coming back and keeping it up. My hubbie cleaned the porch and she's been keeping that clean. I cleaned the staircase and she's been keeping that clean. Then my hubbie and I both cleaned the living room and she's been keeping that clean. That, tutoring, and medical have been keeping me pretty busy. It's nice to have a clean living room, porch and stair case. Onto the bathroom! I have a hill of clothes as high as the washer and dryer to get thru. But the washer and dryer probably won't withstand it. So I'll throw a bunch of clothes in plastic bags and send my friend to the laundramat when the machines and I need a rest. I also have been doing a little crochet and weaving, but not very much or very often. Mostly reading or resting when not doing the above. The new washer and dryer are guaranteed for 10 years and have all metal parts. They're medium end and more energy efficient. So lower electric bills. We're getting them from the same guy who sold me my 1986 pair. He's great at repairs and customer service. He knocked a little off the price for paying all in cash and buying both at the same time. So have you ever had anything for a really long time? Do you get great repairs and customer service? Have you ever gotten behind in cleaning? Have you had someone help you keep things clean? So now you see why I haven't been here as much. After the bathroom, just two more rooms on the first floor. The computer/dining room and the kitchen are all that's left and the first floor will be clean!
