'Potential'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I can do laundry ANY DAMNED TIME. I can wash a load and run out, knowing it'll still be there waiting when I get back. I can hear the buzzer in my LR (it's in the basement right under this room.) It's mine.mine.mine.
And mine. In my adorable little house.
I wish I had my own washer and dryer. Because I'd totally do my laundry naked.
Yeah, since I have one uncovered window in the LR, and the basement ones are as well? No.
I was pissed on Thursday when I got to my building's laundry room at 7:30am to find that all five washing machines were already being used.
When I got home that evening, at 6:30pm, when it's usually crowded, it was empty.
JZ and Matilda are currently at the laundromat. After almost 30+ years of laundromats I can't even imagine the luxury of just doing a load. I get to haul two 80 lbs bags up and down the stairs and down the block
We have a coin-op washer and dryer on the premises, which is convenient.
Oh, using a laundromat is usually worse than sharing a laundry room in the building I live in. (I say "usually" because a laundromat is less likely to have every machine in use.) The last time I had to use a laundromat on a regular basis was in '87-'88. The laundromat was about 5 blocks away, and usually I'd be lazy and drive there....
My leak adventure gets more interesting: it isn't just that the water is coming in under the door, it's coming through the door. As in, through the panels. Oh my god. When I made the offer, I wanted a credit for all the doors, but no, seller countered with replacing this one. There was a reason I wanted to do it myself. Anyway, storm door will solve this and I now know I want to caulk and heavily repaint this (new) door. And, since I have the receipt, I am going to call the people who did it and bitch. Maybe I'll get lucky and they'll do the work for free.
I've preferred laundromats to apartment building laundry rooms -- the laundromat has more machines and is less creepy, on average, IME. And they have change machines. I do know I've been lucky in that usually the laundromat has been less than a block away, at the furthest.
