My Idea Worked Great...just wanted to share
Comments (2)Hello goats (cristi) That is a wonderful idea, I have 2 small fish tanks I could easily add seeds to and put in a south side window. I am in zone 5 so I think the south is best here. Also, I noticed your name, It is not often that I see someone spell Cristi the same way I do! Thank you for the info =) Cristi...See MoreDid I just kill my new electric power washer by getting it wet?
Comments (8)I am pretty sure you have a ground fault switch on the plug. There is no way to avoid getting that thing dry in the mid of using. I wet it so many times. I sure hope mine would take a dive like this so I can have the excuse to buy a new one!!! The electric ones are just pissy!!! No power at all. After I spent hours cleaning bricks and concrete, I finally told my wife I refuse to use that anymore!!! Want me to clean, she has to buy me a real washer!!! If it really crap out, let that be the message from the universe that you need a better one, it's better for your health!!!! It sounds like I am joking, but I am really not. My wife don't want to spend money on a new one and I am stuck with this!!!! It actually hurt my neck because I have to spent hours stairing at the floor waiting for it to be clean!!!! I hate that electric washer....See MoreCalling steam washer users: do they work?
Comments (1)I have the whirlpool duet steam washer & dryer. I was pretty sure the steam on the washer was a gimmick. DH wanted all the bells and whistles (though I don't know why, I do 99% of the laundry). I do use the steam option of the washer on the white loads, but I don't know if it does anything. For the whites I use every option available, whitest whites, sanitary, steam, bleach, etc. (A certain person's tidy whities are often neither of the above. Something nobody warned me about before I got married! LOL)...See Moreremodeling laundry - will FL washer/dryer work?
Comments (1)All the Front Loader washers that I have seen have a door that opens from the right, with hinges on the left. So a FL washer will fit in your space and the door will open just fine. My FridGEmore set is stacked. On the matching dryer, you can switch the hinges on the door so that it opens from either the right or the left. Usually, the dryer door opens from the left, hinges on the right so that when you put the pair side-by-side (washer left, dryer right) the doors open out from the middle, as it were. Since mine are stacked, I had the installers switch the door hinges on the dryer so the doors both open the same way. If you consider this option, make sure the dryer you purchase will allow you to switch the hinges to the left side. In your space, stacking the washer and dryer (with the dryer door set up to open the same way as the washer door) means that BOTH doors would be able to swing 180 degrees. You may not see stacked units in model homes, but I assure you that there are lots of homes that have the units stacked. (Besides, who cares what they do in model homes? This is your home - do what works for you.) I don't think there's one best way to install the laundry equipment when it comes to side-by-side vs. stacked. It's more a matter of personal preference and how you want to use the space. My personal experience has been that loading and unloading the washer is not a big issue: I put clothes in, I take them out and move them up to the open dryer. I like having the dryer at eye level. I tend to take clothes out of the dryer and hang them up right away. I may take some items out early, I may take some items out slightly damp, etc. Being able to do all my dryer unloading "fiddling" without bending over is very convenient. CMC...See Moredadoes
