New Washing Machine??

Not so fast!

I came home from work last night and first thing Meredith announced to me that it’s finally time to replace our 12 year old washing machine.  Of course she wants one of those new fancy front loader machines.  All I started to see was dollar signs!  I had Meredith show me what was wrong with our trusty washing machine.  It was making this awful grinding noise when it was running.  I started to think about what my options were.  I had a list of things I wanted to do that night and trying to fix the washing machine was not one of them.  Then I thought about calling a repair guy but that ends up costing $$ when I could put that towards a new one.

So, I decided to pretend like I knew what I was doing and take the machine apart.  There is a happy ending to this story……for me.  Sorry Meredith.  The new front loader will have to wait a little longer.  I found a tiny little bead that Lauren uses to make necklaces out of.  It was caught in a location that was hard to get to, but eventually I was able to get it out and put everything back together!

  1. What a handy husband! But, I'm with Meredith... those frontloaders are heavenly! Someday I will get my hands on a set of those :)

  2. Someday Meredith will get her hands on one as well. I am surprised that our washer has lasted this long.

  4. Thanks for your support Whit!! Now I know whose side you are on! Your comments made Meredith so happy! :-)

    It must be noted that I do know how to do the laundry, but it has been at least a month or two since I have done any. Meredith is so kind to do that for me! She's the best!
