New equipment!

So, after some other things to do, finally some Updates! We now have a washing machine and - drum roll - also a Dryer! Yippieh! At these outside temperatures, we could only get our clothing frozen stiff back inside...

The connection for it in the basement was existing, but when delivering the machine, I was told that the plastic tube is not accepted by the insurance companies anymore, it has to be a metal hose. Otherwise it will not be able to cope with the higher temperatures of the dryer and could catch fire! And that in a wooden house, Hallelujah!

So, off I went and bought a metal hose, pulled it as an accordion and ... too short! So first of all getting the plastic hose out, the metal one in there somehow and connected with a clamping piece. Difficult as this stupid thing is flexible and soft and I do not want to have holes in there where none belong...

After that back to the DIY store and getting another hose... Learned that I could have used a glue instead of the clamping piece, would have been easier... Oh well! Doesn't matter, now it is up and running!

Pretty proud of myself, have also changed the doors! From left opening to right... or something like that...

Here is the proof:

Our Dryer! Ordered during the Boxing Day online sale event! With the metal tube and the big connector at the wall is the high-voltage current for the dryer!

And the pipe going to the outside!

Dryer to the left and washer to the right!
