A washing machine with lousy timing

[BeardofPants]

We lucked out and bought a Simpson 5.5 litre for a mere $300nz (3 yrs old) (Simpson site). They sell new for approx $800-$1000nz so yeah...

 

[tonksy]

Sweet deal!

 

[BeardofPants]

You're telling me! They had machines aged 6 years old for the same price.

 

[tonksy]

I am currently waiting for the automated phone call to tell us what 4 hour time frame we must be home for tomorrow to accept delivery of our new machine. I predict 11-3...that would be the most inconvenient.

 

[tonksy]

Sweet! They called - 8:15 - 10:15.

 

[Professur]

They taking the old banger out too?

 

[tonksy]

For a $10 removal fee, yes.

 

[Inkara1]

I seem to remember you enterring that back door too, young man

 

[Professur]

For a $10 removal fee, yes.

Given that otherwise you'd have to haul it to the curb yourself, that's cheap insurance. Are they gonna have any trouble with that driveway?

 

[Nixy]

You guys got your basement back?!

I imagine they'll pull up to the top the way the folks that delivered the grill and patio furniture did.

Nix? Not yet....I have a master plan to flush him out but Rob doesn't like it.

Like T sez... it should be fine. So long as its a salty driver and the truck isnt overloaded... it should be a snap.

The back door in question is level with the ground floor of the house and enters the kitchen... not the basement. That door is on the right side of the house.

That's not what she meant.
Nix, The mooch is supposedly moving around Thanksgiving.

It's here. Works great. Long live 'analog' washers. God help anyone who gets one stuff with computer gizmos and whatnot. You're just asking for trouble.

 

[Gonz]

The rest of us can use them Rob It's just you.

the one and only time I tried doing laundry myself, I inflicted $300 in damage to an "analog" washer. Fcuk uyo.

 

[tonksy]

Rob hasn't touched a washing machine since he moved the old one in well over a year ago and the last time he started a load was probably before I moved in.

 

[chcr]

I do pretty much all the laundry.

If it was a digital one the damage would have been almost $700. Those computer boards just don't seem to mix with violent agitators and hot water... go figure.
