Lawrence "The Dreamer" Chen's Blog

...to go is my washer. It had been in rough shape since I got it, it was free. And, I always intended that after I became a home owner, I would probably buy that dream washer and dryer.

But, the cost of becoming and being a home owner was a bit steeper than I had anticipated, so I was pushing my luck and saving for the real dream washer and dryer.

Evidently, it wasn't meant to be.

I came home from work today, and found that my washer wasn't where it was supposed to be. The laundry inside wasn't on the sides and was still pretty saturated. Further inspection seemed to indicate that the washer was leaking, possibly for some time.

I moved it back into place and watched it carefully as I redid the final rinse and spin....and soon there was a fresh puddle under the machine. Perhaps the leaking was a relatively recent development...but long enough to have made the mess that I had found behind it. This also means that replacing the washer is a higher priority than I would like. It'll pretty much be a shop and buy a new washer (and dryer) this weekend kind of thing.

I guess I don't need the top end in front load washer and dryer, nor having it tricked out with every option. But, still it should be a decent sized front loader with the features at least the features I know I need now.

Hmmmm.....
