it smells nice outside and sounds peaceful
Monday, August 6th, 2007 11:14 pmI had the air conditioner on earlier today so that the person whom I had hired to install tile flooring in the washer/dryer area wouldn't be too uncomfortable while working. The temperature in the house was down to about 83 degrees (which felt way cooler than outside). Around 2pm, I turned the AC off and haven't had the windows open since then. It supposedly got up to 102 today, and is supposed to go down to 78 tonight. Now it is 11:16pm, and is about 87 degrees in the house, but it still feels hotter outside than in!
I'm not complaining, mind you. Just marvelling.
.
Now I am trying to decide which washer and dryer to buy. I really have a hard time making decisions like this sometimes... there are so many factors, so much data to consider, so many potential problems. On the internet, you can find stories of problems with pretty much every brand and model, so you have to figure out which problems are wide-spread versus not.
And should I get the smaller sized ones which would fit better in my w/d area, or bigger ones which can handle larger sized items... no, I don't have a king-size-comforter at this time, but is it possible I might ever need to wash something that big in the future???
And I'm not sure if I will need to get part of my standpipe replaced, since one brochure said it should be a minimum of 2 inches, and mine is smaller. While checking the pipe in the basement, I noticed that the insulation on the electric cable to that area is frayed off, leaving the paper wrappings exposed.
I wish that the w/d area were located somewhere else... not in the main part of the house where it could cause a big mess if the water ever leaks. But it is where it is.
.
I wonder if I can get my shower faucet which has a single control replaced with one which has 2 or 3 separate controls, or if that would require cutting into the shower wall to get to the pipes behind it.
