A couple weekends ago I woke up and began my Saturday morning routine of starting a load of laundry. As I opened the closet door, I was blasted by some seriously hot air! I thought it was really strange that our laundry closet was so hot so I asked Thad if he had been doing any laundry. Of course he hadn't. After a little investigating, Thad and I discovered that our dryers heating element was kicking on and off, even though the dryer was not turned on. It was getting RED hot and we could see the element lighting up the whole closet. Thad immediately went to unplug the dryer from the wall and the plug was super hot.... no bueno. So... long story short, we headed to Lowes (good thing they were having some amazing 4th of July sales) and bought ourselves a new washer and dryer set. Now, our washer still works fine, but having paid less for the pair of them more than 5 years ago than what we were going to pay for just the washer at Lowes, we figured it was probably due to be retired soon anyway, and since they were on sale, we bit the bullet and bought them.
Our dryer was delivered this past Saturday
Isn't it pretty? I never realized before how long it really took to do a load of laundry, but I was able to do my whole weeks worth of laundry in AT LEAST half the time. I still have to wait a few more weeks for the washer to get here, but it has about 1/3 more capacity than my old one, so I think my laundry time will even be cut shorter! Maybe I wont hate doing laundry so much?? One can hope, right?
