This week’s adventure is a bit closer to home … like at home. Just a few weeks ago our dryer started to take longer to dry and the start knob needed some creative fixing. So we decided it was time.
Appliance shopping post pandemic qualifies as an adventure, but to add to the complexity, we discovered a small leak where water feeds the washing machine.
Now we have the task of getting delivery on a laundry pair and repairing ruined drywall. The problem is complicated by a laundry area just wide enough to fit machine and walk-way.
The subsequent juggling of appliance delivery, plumber to cap the natural gas line and wall fix turned into a re-do on the whole room. New flooring, baseboard, paint and shelving.
The smallest detail will stall out a home improvement project. Thanks to having built a house, we have skills and no shortage of tools. However. it will take multiple trips to the hardware store before we have collected all the bits and bobs required.
Appliances get delivered the week this is posted. Presently we’re in the thick of the “mess” with any luck there be a load of laundry tumbling in a re-furbished space by weeks end.
