Mountain living takes on lots of dimensions. Lucinda is using up the last bottle of bubbles from Helen’s wedding. Downsizing involves using up (as Lucinda is doing), throwing out or recycling, selling or giving away. Sometimes it helps to take a picture of something before you discard it. At least it helps jog the memory.
Our neighbors in Raleigh came for an overnight visit. We had a great time and expecially enjoyed eating at Shatley Springs. We also went to the Farmer’s Market.
Yes, I know it’s just a regular washer and dryer, but it was one of those projects that took longer than I thought it would. I ran the water pipes under the house up through the floor and added an extension to the drain for the washer. The dryer needed a 220 volt outlet and a vent. I got the outlet run under the house and mounted to the cinder block wall, but the dryer did not go back far enough to the wall to be even with the washer which needed to be back as far as possible to be out of the walkway in front. So, I unhooked the outlet from the wall and the breaker box and reinstalled it using conduit along the wall and placing the outlet high enough to allow the dryer to go back further. The vent had to be cut through the cinderblock wall, so I used a cement drill to make a series of holes in a circle and made the hole. By using a flat dryer vent pipe, I was able to get the dryer in place. They both work nicely. It will be strange not to have dirty clothes to take with us when we go back to Raleigh. It’s a project I’m glad to have finished. Now which other project do I tackle next?
Congrats on the washer/dryer project! I bet you are THRILLED to have that done – and it looks like a perfect fit!
Wow. That was quite a project, Ken.
As for Sis and her bubbles…looks like she hasn’t lost any of her childhood talents.
