That's why I like the laundry

October 8th, 2008 at 11:52 am

My washer broke again. DS2BH wants to weld something on to it so that it won't come apart again.
Why can't I buy a sensibly priced economic and enviromently friendly product and use it.
I believe that my washer is not saving as much water as it could.

I should buy a set and just suprise him when he gets home.

Don't you think he would be mad?
Technically it's not his money I would be spending, but I would be asking for money for the bills soon enough.

Why should I have to suffer with 10-year-old hand-me-down set of appliances from his mom?

I want new ones!
I need new ones!
The money that it will save us on our utility bills alone is the reason I want to buy them. I still think that we should consider a new one.

I did find some money in the last load that broke the washer's back. It was a dime.
That's the only reason I do laundry anymore.
Add that to the Challenge!

    I would want new ones, too! However, do not just buy them without discussing...that just leads to more problems. Sounds like you need to come up with a compromise or deadline for a new set. Something like, try the weld for X months...if it continues to work without further problems keep the set. If there are problems at anytime with in the X months...you go buy a new set. Good luck!!

    My nephew fixed my washer when it broke recently. Its about 16 years old I think. I'm holding on to it as long as it still runs.

    Check out free cycle or craigslist. You sometimes see people giving away free ones that work.

    If you do replace the washer, don't just automatically replace the dryer. You may think of them as a set, but they are really separate appliances....Hey, I just asked your magic 8 ball if you should get a new washer and it said, "TRY L8R."

    When I asked the 8 ball, it said "TRY L8R", too. I think that's a sign, but maybe you could ask it yourself!

    My washer isn't the worst problem. My dryer has been dying for a while too. It takes three cycles for one load to dry. I have tried lessening the load, and that doesn't help. I have learned to hang my towels, but my clothes line keeps breaking. I didn't think that I had enough line to rehang it, after all the knots and such.
    I am not trying to sound uppity when I say that I want a matching pair. I will be happy if they are both white. But, I also need to have some super capacity ones, preferably a good name brand, but by no means matchy matchy. I can't have a washer that is large and a dryer that works slower than the one it is replacing.
