Two weekends ago our washing machine broke :( We had been having some problems with it leaking or not spinning and things like that. Bliss kept fixing it the best he could and we made it work. Well, that unfortunate Sunday, it was making awful noises and just stopped. Bliss did everything he could, but it was dead. Thank God we had most of the laundry done for the week!
I'm not positive, but I believe this washer was bought in 2000 by my friend Kelly. I'm not sure when she bought it, but that's when she got her apt so it may have been used at that point. Anyway, the dryer was bought in like 02 or 03 (I think) when Kelly's other dryer died. Bliss' old roommate, Zach, bought both off Kelly when she moved to MN and Bliss and Zach got an appt. When Bliss and I moved in together in 04, we bought the pair off Zach for $50. He was dumb to sell them to us so cheap, but it worked well for me!
When the washer broke, we debated on if we should just get a new/used washer or if we should get a set. This past weekend we went looking for a new one. At Best Buy, we found a really nice set that was a display model so we got it like 40% off!! So we came home and put the dryer on Craig's List and sold it in 45 min for $175!! Not a bad profit if I do say so!
Our friend Stefan was headed up to NYC for the week and had asked us to watch his cats. We said that wouldn't be a problem, but we were going to use his washer too :) We made smart choices about what we would need clean and only had to do two loads between then and when our new washer was delivered thursday!
Aren't they pretty??
