This weekend we were helping our friend Travis move to his new third floor apartment. It came time to move his washer and dryer (ugh) and he expressed how he really wished he could have sold them so he wouldn’t have to move them. I inquired as to how much he wanted for them and he told me they were $1200 brand new 2 years ago, and he bought them used for $800, so he would like about $400, and since we were friends and that would save him from moving them we could pay it out in installments. Everybody wins!
We jumped in his moving van (now empty except for the washer and dryer) and went to our apartment where I quickly threw everything we were currently storing in the empty laundry room into any empty space I could fin in the rest of our small apartment. We installed the washer and dryer, and later when Jess and I came home we sorted out the carnage and tried to figure out where to put all the crap that was formerly stored where the washer and dryer now live.
No more trips to the laundry room and worrying about having tons of quarters! Wooooo!

Ooooh! That is so great. I used to HATE doing laundry when we lived in an apartment without a washer and dryer. I’d have to haul all those clothes to another building. And yeah, I’d buy quarters off everyone I knew. I thought it was blasphemous to use quarters for anything besides MY laundry.
In conclusion, yay for no more suffering!
Excellent! I used to store the coins we could use in our washer in my hall of residence, so I know how damn annoying it can get.
I loathe laundromats. In short, yay for having those handy washing services in-house!
