In our glorious townhome we have a super tiny bathroom and kitchen, BUT we also have a large living room and large bedrooms AND a decent sized utility room. (Please note for those of you who have been living in large houses, "large" to you may not be so exciting as it is for me) Until recently the utility room has been empty, but my hubby got me a present! At AJ's work he noticed a washer and dryer just hangin out. He asked someone about it and found out they are almost brand new and FREEEEE! So he brought them home. What a nice gift. We started the washer and noticed it wouldn't drain. After looking through all the manuals we realized the drain pump had some issue. My Mr. Fix-It took the whole dang thing apart, and the culprit ended up being a bobby pin! One little rusty piece of metal. So AJ took it out and put it all back together and the washer works great! yaaaayy!
Unfortunately our dryer is set up to work electrically but we only have gas hook ups (or vice versa) so we haven't been able to dry anything. So now I hang up everything to dry. And I mean everything. And I know the best, warmest places to do it. No clothes line or anything, just heat vents, hangers, towel racks, shower curtain rod, etc. It looks goofy, but then we rarely have company. AJ's jeans dry all stiff and funny looking, but you gotta do what you gotta do!

Washer and Dryer!? Thats huge! Good for you. I'm jealous :)
Congrats! That's awesome that he was able to get it to work.
Hurray for blogs! I'm so glad we can keep in touch. Way to go on the washer and dryer...that was one of the best days of my life when we could say adios to the laundromat. And by the way, your portfolio is awesome. You're probably tired of hearing it but you're really talented and I'm so glad you got a great job. Hope things are going well in Logan!
In Portugal, they don't really have dryers, so they line dry everything. At first I hated the stiff, scratchy feeling of line dried clothes, but then I got used to it and now I even miss it sometimes. If you don't like stiff, line-dried look though, ironing helps. I think that's also why they iron EVERYTHING in Portugal - even underwear and jeans.
