Our new house comes with a complete set of appliances except for a washer and dryer. The hookups are located in the basement and we envision one day moving them up to the first floor’s mudroom to be on the same level as the master bedroom. Until that day I will be more than happy to haul down to the basement to do my laundry, especially with my brand new in-the-box Frigidaire front-loading washer!
I found it on Craigslist for $400 and knew it was a major steal. I had the previous model in our last Massachusetts apartment, so I was very keen on the brand. My favorite thing about these high efficiency front-loading washers is not how great they are to Mother Earth, but how great they are to your bras while washing on the “handwash” cycle. So I called up the friendly chap and promised him I’d be there an hour earlier than the guy who lives in Memphis and was sending over his buddy to buy it at 4pm. Score! I thought. I’m nabbing this steal of a washer right out from under a Tennessean! So I haven’t lost my Massachusetts pair! I might be turning into a friendly driver, but I’ll maintain my cutthroat Craigslisting!
Until we showed up to buy it, and it wouldn’t fit into the back of my Volvo wagon. I have never before wished more that I was a true Tennessean who would be driving a Ford F150 instead of a Volvo wagon! Luckily the seller was kind enough to take our money, give us a receipt, and allow us to pick it up on Friday with a rental pickup.
Which now leaves us with the predicament of where we will store this monstrosity until our closing on the 28th. We have absolutely no room left in our 600 square foot apartment, and our storage unit is jammed to overflowing. I am starting to think it would make a good bedside table for the next three weeks. No, that beeping isn’t my alarm going off – just the signal for the spin cycle!
Needless to say, Matt has put the kibosh on buying any more appliances until we’re into the house. BUT IT WAS SUCH A GREAT DEAL, BABE!!!! Like that humidifier we’ve got chillin in the closest!
