Adult Dream Come True

For the last forty five years I have been dragging my laundry to a local laundromat. I yearned for the day I would be able to have my own washer/dryer.
Most apartments do not allow tenants to house their own laundry appliances because of extensive damage and the fact that coinop machines can be installed for added income.
One of my happiest adult moments was doing my first load of laundry in my own washer and dryer in my own basement.

@hereandthere Energy saving had the newer machines use the previous rinse water to wash the next load. That fact seems to have gotten shoved under a rock lately. Right up there with Hot Water not running hot.

Makes the few years that I've been craving a washer and dryer seem like child's play

@irenen1 What a blessing that you bought a house! Congratulations
That is something that I want to do as well.
I really love the apartment that I live in, but having my own house as well as having my own washing machine and dryer so that I can wash anytime of the day or night that I want, is a dream
of mine.

That would be nice. I have gone out to do laundry in the coinop places for so many years. It sure got old. We have an apartment now that has a washer and dryer. Also a dish washer. It sure is nice. Especially now that I don't drive and have no transportation.

I'm soooo happy for you. I Iong for a washer and dryer of my own. I can imagine how elated you must feel now that this dream is a reality for you. Having a washer and dryer makes a huge difference in day to day life.
I used to have a new washer and dryer (they were lovely, lol
), but lost them due to bad management
of my possessions. Hopefully I will get a chance to get another set in the not-too-distant future.
