How do I know? I am far too excited about new household appliances.

Last month we replaced our 30 year old furnace. Tonight it’s going to go down to the 30’s and I’m very interested to see how well it does in this first snap of cold weather.

And next Saturday, we have a new washing machine arriving!! The old one still works, but leaks and the gasket or whatever that is degraded is of course the most expensive part of the whole thing and the repairman said we’d honestly just be better off replacing it – but that in the meantime, just doing small loads would work. So we have. Cannot wait to get a big giant load of laundry done all at once again. :-D
