Our Garage/Laundry Room

Here is my cute little washer I spoke about in an earlier blog. Jeff calls it a "washer for dolls"! Everyone washes by hand here and it's RARE anyone has a dryer since the sun works very well! You can see where the hose hooks up to the washer and that's where the water goes in. I have to drain the water into the bucket (upside down in this picture) once after the wash cycle and once after the rinse cycle.


So the clothes get washed on the left and then they go into the spinner, on the right! For the first 4 weeks we were here we were washing everything by hand and it was KILLING my tendonitis! Especially the wringing of the jeans and the towels! But now we are set up with a laundry service for all the big stuff and we just do the small stuff and stuff we need in an emergency in this washer. I love it! :)


And, last but not least, here is our dryer! You just hang everything up, push it out into the sun, and there you have it! :) You have your hangers for shirts and then, in the back you can see these round plastic things with clothespins all around, that's where we hang all the undies and socks. So much fun! :)
