Jennifer,If I may, regards the "how much does it cost" to install. well depending on what you already have to work with and if you are in a rental or hav e your own home. for years we were able to put a J , screw in hook on our telephone/ power pole but when they had to put up a new pole three years ago they said. No more hooks of any kind. this pole belongs to National Grid/ and I told him the pole still sits on my property. long and short of it. we do not put any hooks in his blank blank pole. those tee poles you refer to are a good deal but consider before installing the weight of the laundry to hang on it.Lee -- Uncle Ed's Rule of Thumb: Never use your thumb for a rule.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] new washers
Hi Jennifer, We moved into a house owned by the mine my father managed in Temagami back in 1962 which had a front loading washer in it and the washer wasn't new then. They have been available in North America a very long time. One significant disadvantage that I am aware of is that if the machine fails when loaded with water there isn't usually any option to open the door and retrieve your laundry without disassembling enough of the machine to remove a hose and drain it down first. We experienced this inconvenience several times with that old machine and again several times with one in a hostal I lived in my first year or so when I was a student in London England in 1969-70. They are very efficient with water use and you should be careful about the sort of detergent or soap you use. Foam is a real problem for front loading washers because of the action which tends to really trap a lot of air. This makes both getting rid of the suds difficult and somehow it seems to play hell on the pump systems but I don't know why. They were very strict about what we were allowed to use in the Bendex at that hostel because of maintenance issues which were frequently blamed on the soap powder used. My mother-in-law in England has one mounted under a kitchen counter. It impressed me with it's quiet operation and convenience. At 82 years of age and coming off a recent knee replacement she still seems to manage to get down there to load and unload the thing which I thought to be quite an achievement. Anyway, just to say that these are not new on this side of the pond. One feature though that you will sometimes find on European models that I have never seen over here is the addition of an electric heater. This permits use where there is no hot water supply available, it can be set to heat the water before washing if desired. We had one in a twin tub washer/spin dryer when we first got married. Fill the tub with water from the tap, in those days it was what is known as a gas geyser mounted on the wall, a sort of early demand water heater but which didn't supply hot water very fast. How times change, we used to have to plug shillings into the gas meter to buy gas, the original "PayAsYouGo. Although we didn't have to buy our electricity that way, we did know people who did. You could be sitting there and the lights go off until you plug another coin or two into the meter. That is how advanced they were at that time. I expect there is still some old tenement housing like that today in more remote places but that was West Ealing in 1971-73.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] new washers
We've had a sears washer and drier set with front loading whasher that's supposed to use much less water for about 2 years now. Everything boop and others wsay about this type of machine is true. The spin, if set on fast, is a bit noisy but otherwise the machine is very quite. Varriable rotation speeds and directions are cool to watch and do a very good job with less apparrent ware on the cloths. You don't have to use the so-called "high efficiency" soap with this machine but it's reccommended and we think you need less so it may be less expensive in th long run. Sonce we're just the two of us, we probably don't see the huge savings that a larger family would but we think it helps. The controls are knobs with pretty easy to manage settings, I havn't even bothered to lable them yet but it'd be easy to do. In two years, no problems at all and we like them fine.

My wife has one of these and likes it very much. Ours is on a stand made of 2 x 4s and plywood along with a dryer. The stand is big enough that she can keep all the detergents and whatever on it as well, and is probably 18 inches tall.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] new washers
Lee, Boop mentioned about special soap, and I don't remember doing or using special soap. So I checked, my Duet HE, they recommend (HE soap) high efficiency soap or half of regular soap. We just use half of what is recommended, so our cost on that is half of what it used to be. .bob [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] To listen to the show archives go to link http://acbradio.org/handyman.html or ftp://ftp.acbradio.org/acbradio-archives/handyman/ The Pod Cast address for the Blind Handy Man Show is. http://www.acbradio.org/news/xml/podcast.php?pgm=saturday The Pod Cast address for the Cooking In The Dark Show is. http://www.gcast.com/u/cookingindark/main.xml Visit The Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following address: http://www.jaws-users.com/handyman/ Visit the new archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com/ For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!

Re: [BlindHandyMan] new washers
Lee, you can get the same units with very slight option or control changes. They are the standard height for front loaders. One of the biggest cost factors I have found is caused by color selection. If a store offers a wide color selection of a product, the cost is more across the board for everything. I installed mine that I have which also saved me some money; but, I let them deliver. The first set they delivered had a smashed box and broken door. The drawer unit to mount them higher is really nice since it gives extra storage in the laundry right at the units. I did not get them since I have made a storage cabinet over the top and have a TV mounted over the washer. I also mounted a utility sink between the washer and dryer to wash pets and do heavy mud from shoes. The TV helps entertain the natives since I also use this area for exercising.bob [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] To listen to the show archives go to link http://acbradio.org/handyman.html or ftp://ftp.acbradio.org/acbradio-archives/handyman/ The Pod Cast address for the Blind Handy Man Show is. http://www.acbradio.org/news/xml/podcast.php?pgm=saturday The Pod Cast address for the Cooking In The Dark Show is. http://www.gcast.com/u/cookingindark/main.xml Visit The Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following address: http://www.jaws-users.com/handyman/ Visit the new archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com/ For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!

RE: [BlindHandyMan] new washers
We also have a whirlpool front loading washer and a gas dryer. My wife loves them. For a little more money, we got pedestals which bolt to the machines. Along with storage drawers, they raise the machines, making them more convenient to unload. I called Whirlpool, and they sent braille overlays for the controls. Since we've had the machines, our electric bill has dropped by 20%.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] new washers
Hey Lee, I hang some of my clothes in the laundry room, but not outside. My neighbor likes to burn trash, and leaves, and anything else he can find to burn, and I don't want smoky clothes. The front loader washer would be just like getting clothes from the regular dryer, but the opening is usually a little smaller, so it's harder to get into. That's why I use the bench to sit on. It just makes it easier to reach the whole way back in to the washer. Boop Boop, you said less dryer time. I just knew it. you are like many of us who no longer have that clothesline. I miss the scent of sheets dried on the line but on the other hand I know when I go to bed there will be no Japanese beetles too.. so if I understand correctly. the front loader is so low to the ground, so to speak we need to get a bench to sit on?Lee To listen to the show archives go to link http://acbradio.org/handyman.html or ftp://ftp.acbradio.org/acbradio-archives/handyman/ The Pod Cast address for the Blind Handy Man Show is. http://www.acbradio.org/news/xml/podcast.php?pgm=saturday The Pod Cast address for the Cooking In The Dark Show is. http://www.gcast.com/u/cookingindark/main.xml Visit The Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following address: http://www.jaws-users.com/handyman/ Visit the new archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com/ For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!

RE: [BlindHandyMan] new washers
I'm pretty sure you all are talking about front load washers. We just got one a few weeks ago. The water is pulled through the cloths, which is how it works with less water. The cycle times are usually a little longer though. There is also special detergent for these kind of washers. You need to be careful that the cloths are totally in the washer, and beyond the gasket in the door, as the gasket is expensive to replace. Another thing you might have to consider is the size of the washer, since they tend to be a little larger than the normal top loaders. I think mine is a 3.1 capacity washer, and is a Whirlpool. Bosch make some nice units, but they are mostly all much larger. Mine holds a little more than my old top loader, but it about the same size. The difference is that the front loaders don't have an agitator, so you can put more in it. The spin cycles can be pretty fast, so the cloths do come out dryer, so the dryer time is cut down some. This one seems to be more gentle on the cloths, even with the higher spin speed. They are harder to get the cloths out of, which is why they sell the drawer units/stands to put under them. I didn't' buy those, so I have a bench to sit on right in front of them, which makes it easy to use. Any more questions, just ask.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] new washers
Less soap is used and everything, savings on everything except the washer. Water is dispensed by way of the soap container. Water is added according to weight of the cloth. If you want to add a piece of clothing you only have a certain amount of time since all weight is measured and calculated. The cloth gets saturated with water, but no extra for slosh. The washer adjutates in both directions which also balances all loads regardless of what you put in it. They are also as quiet as can be even in a spin. Motor speeds are ramped from 0 RPM up, as smooth as a baby's bottom. We are on town water here and the meter people always say about how little we use. That washer saves me a couple hundred gallons a week. If you have kids (girls), you know what laundry days can be like, like almost every day is laundry day.
