Washing Machine Saga - Part Deux
The Eulogy
It's dead Jim.
The washer. It's dead. Almost 10 full years of hard work and dedication - gone. Husband tried to save it as he had done many times before but alas, the poor front loading washing machine didn't pull through and is now living in the big laundry room up in the sky.
The only thing I'm happy about is that the dryer didn't give up the fight and it still currently with us. There are no signs of illness but we will be keeping a watchful eye on its situation.
I feel like I should have a special ceremony for the washer. I'd hold it in the backyard but it's so cold outside. A burial is out of the question - the ground is frozen. And, of course, one can't actually flush a washing machine either.
This machine was such an important part of our lives. A very necessary part. But, as they say in the laundry world, you are only as good as your last spin cycle. So, this morning, we are off to Lowes to find a suitable (and inexpensive) replacement for Fronty the front loader.
You will be missed. RIP Fronty.

I'd like to recommend the Bosch Nexxxt500 front loader. That's what we bought in October and it's AWESOME. We got it at Lowe's.

LOL! Good luck with the new one. I'm actually getting a new set from my sister in a few weeks. Yay!
