Anyway, some of you may have heard that we got a washing machine! We haven't had one since we moved to Topolovo... scary thought, I know. Don't worry though, Lamar and Pat let us use their washer for a couple loads, and that got us though until we got our own installed and working.
We were originally planning to get a second hand washing machine from a man that fixes them up and sells them, but he hasn't had any available in the past two weeks and we didn't want to wait around too much longer. So, on Tuesday we set out on a washing machine quest.
It's like Christmas!
Pencho, the home owner, came on Wednesday and helped install the washing machine. It was a huge blessing that he was able to come so soon and that everything actually worked! It's quite the contraption... the water pipe is connected to a T joint... the other part of the joint is the kitchen faucet. The drain for the washer goes across the counter and back into the kitchen sink.
The bun! (You can also see our new oven/stove in this photo)
The plumbing may not be the prettiest to look at, but the washer sure is! It works wonderfully! We did a couple loads of laundry last night and got them out on the line this morning.
Patio, converted to clothes drying central.
We also purchased a clothes drying rack for inside (which has a much larger capacity than the ones you can get in the US). The wood stove does a great job of not only heating a room, but drying clothes!

Pretty!!! And I'm glad you are calling it a "bun"!!!!!!
HAPPY DAY! We love you and can't wait to see you too again and meet your little bun!
Very nice. We have the same washer and really like it. I have been drying everything on laundry drying rack for a couple years. It really is easy once you change your habits just a little bit. I have found hanging clothes over night let's me put them into the middle of the room with the most air movement and they are usually all dry by morning. Enjoy your new washer.
