We bought a washing machine from Sears yesterday. Exciting, I know! Ours has been making this horrible noise lately and it’s not the belt, so it must be the motor. We looked at machines a few weeks ago at Sears to get an idea of what we wanted to spend, and of course, my husband being the frugal man that he is was trying to sell me on a $350 model. No way was I getting something with less features than ours currently has. <\/p>\n
Frankly, I want those spiffy front-loaders that sell for $800+ each but I knew that was a losing battle. Plus if I want to be logical, it doesn’t make sense to put something that expensive in a townhome that we know we won’t be staying in. <\/p>\n
We haven’t decided if we’re going to stick around in this place until we move out of state in 5+ years, but I’m hoping for a house before then, if only to get away from our retarded neighbors. At night the entire courtyard is dark except for two units who keep their patio lights on all night long. Want to wager a guess who those two are? I don’t think I need to spell it out for you. We’ve been looking for light blocking drapes for the bedroom but the only ones we’ve liked were discontinued and the leftover stock in the store wasn’t the right size. We have the best luck with that; we’ve only been searching for over a year. Anyway, we were going to look at Sears but got so wrapped up in our washing machine purchase that we forgot.<\/p>\n
And we compromised and got the $450 model which has a stainless steel tub and the capacity is a little larger than our current one with pretty much the same features. After taxes, gift card, 10% special, and “free” installation, I think it will cost $400, so we’re both happy. It arrives on Saturday. No more airplanes landing in the laundry room.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
