5. At least it is summer
Drying clothes in the winter would be even harder.

6. There is a basement above my apt
I can hang the stuff.

And my towels will be hard again x(


Summer???? We don't have summer. Temps are in the high 50s, lower 60s, I kid you not.

3. My washing machine died last week
of course the sticker on it said it was made in 1972, so it had a good run. Now I just run next door and use my Grandparents washer and haul the clothes back to the dryer.

My Grandparents also have an old washer in their basement, but that would mean removing doors, hauling washers up 100-year-old rickety cellar steps. But it's mine if I want it! lol

7. My dryer is older too
belonged to my mom, then she gave it to my cousin for a couple of years and May last year I got it. I was happy to get it at all, didn't had the money for a dryer myself. Now I need to find out if I can get one where I can pay it off monthly.

9. Buy used.
BIG used market out there. Never paid more than $75 for a washer or dryer on the used market.

but that dryer caught on fire on purpose.

on edit -- i know it's not nice to speak ill of the dead -- but somethings provoke me.

i'm sure it was a fine dryer -- at some point.
