Laundry = Washing good, Drying not so good

So yesterday we tried to use our washing/drying machine combo and were quite impressed with the washing cycle. It ran for two hours, heating its own water (which saves the water in the water heater for the shower) and ended in a normal spin cycle. We had to open the door and re-close it to move the selector knob into the drying cycle. We ran the dryer through 3 cycles, one of 12 minutes and two separate ones of 42 minutes, at the end the clothes were warm, but very damp. It was at this point we discovered why there was a very elaborate clothes drying rack in the bathroom, a room that Nikki keeps close to the temperatures of the fires of Hell due to how much she loves the in floor heating. I think we learned to wash with the washer, and to dry with the rack near the radiators....


This morning we woke up to flurries on the ground. The area is a lot more beautiful with a little white covering over the ground.

That's how it was for me in Japan! Although the washer also stretched out the clothes, so it sounds like you have a little bit better system! The new furniture looks nice! Any news on when your things will arrive?

Beth-
No news on things arriving, they won't clear customs untill we finish a burecratic registration process that takes a week, as for now we are enjoying not having our things as it gives us an excuse to eat out every meal.Which means More seafood pizza!
