That will be it, folks

the dryer is here. delivered by home depot, actually ahead of schedule for once.

its the same brand as the washer, but that’s about where the similarities end on the two models. the washer is prior year’s model, so can’t actually get the same dryer. i can’t say i am overly enthused by the combo look, but at this point i just don’t care enough to spend any more time on this.… Read the rest

Dryer Saga

documenting our little adventure with the dryers at least gives some sort of satisfaction/closure in the process. we are down to one – we returned the broken electrical one to sears yesterday, still ahve the gas one sitting in out house, since we lost the receipt (yea, not cool, but what are you going to do).

sears didn’t have the one to match our washer in stock. so we came home without one.… Read the rest

Well, the dryer is here.… Read the rest
