PHASE TWO
Today, the old washer/driers went out and the new ones came in.
Angel has ripped out all the shelves and shit from the laundry itself.
New plumbing is being installed. Well, plumbing in a new more secretive location, although the drain pipe will still have to be visible.
John is not going to get his clear, uncluttered look entirely. More like 90%.
There will be room for a shelf to the right of the washer and drier. Maybe a cabinet.
The entire interior will be lined with Formica ®—white.
The old drier was really in bad shape. The lint line was completely detached and so all the lint was spewing behind the units. We are lucky that we have not burned the house down.
Once again, there is nothing to do but stay out of the way.
John has gone to LA for two days of museum looking and sight seeing with our French friend. I am only a bit resentful at being left to 'handle' the project as there is nothing to 'handle'. Just my own impatience.
It is not even messy, confined as it is to the laundry closet. Well, there is a lot of shit out in the walkway awaiting use in the project or removal as trash. Angel is impeccably neat. My standards could not even come close to his.
So I am reduced to telling about it and not doing anything. Well, paying for it.
My ideal project.
We got Fischer and Paykel units.
This is a New Zealand company that just opened up a plant in Huntington Beach.
Cruise the features. They are rated 'pretty good' by Consumer Reports. They don't do as well with grimy clothes as some other units. We don't have grimy clothes. None.
The look good sitting in the garage right now waiting installation.
All shiny polished inside the drier. That won't last.
