A new look for the Ogden Laundry....

[turquoisedude]

Encouraged by the DE306 repair and pretty much snow-bound after a surprise snowfall of nearly 14 inches (yes, NOT centimetres!) I figured this past Sunday was a good day to spend playing with the arrangement of the laundry room in Ogden. OK, that and the fact that hubby kept whining about the lack of open floor space...
Here's how the laundry room looked circa 2009:

I had lots of fun playing what hubby called 'musical bloody appliances'....
That appliance dolly was a worthwhile investment, indeed!

 

[turquoisedude]

And the new look:

Ta-Da!

 

[turquoisedude]

The first 'Tag team is the A206 paired up with the newly spiffed-up DE306. These have now inherited the title of daily drivers.

 

[turquoisedude]

Second in command is the 'Tag team A701 washer with the DE700 dryer.

Of course, the Frigidaire still is proudly displayed. I still need to hook up the water supply, though. And as I reminded hubby, this one is seeking its 'mate' in a Deluxe 63 dryer! He makes the cutest growling noises... LOL

 

[turquoisedude]

Mismatched for now - the Westy L5 Laundromat is paired with the CD-6 dryer. My goal is to get the CLB-6 Laundromat up and running again this year (may be SLIGHTLY ambitious) and one day, I would like to get a D3 dryer to match the L5 washer. Hubby was spewing expletives at that one...

And in this corner...

The 58 GE Clothes Conditioner dryer, which is pledged to a fellow collector in MD and the still DOA Inglis washer. Getting a new motor for that machine is another of my lofty goals for 2011...

Exiled...

Well, until I can get the timer fixed or replaced... The CLB-6 Laundromat.
The open space is reserved for the Inglis Sterling dryer, still also DOA, awaiting a motor transplant... I have a plan for that too, hopefully!
Of course, I pointed out to hubby that we have PLENTY of room for a Kenmore... I still have the bump on the head...

Nice Paul !!!

May I interest you in another set ???? Hmmmmm ???

 

[frigilux]

You've gotten all your ducks in a row, so to speak! Love that Maytag 700/701 pair. Are they late 50's vintage?

 

[appnut]

Looking good Paul.  that open floor is begging for a 2nd row!!!

 

[turquoisedude]

Eddie, I think I need a GE set down there...

Eugene, the 701 is a 'late' model - a 1965 and the DE700 is a 1963. I guess the design was in production for quite a while!

Bob - you read my mind but boy, I couldn't put ANYTHING hubby said in regards to that matter in this (or any public) forum! LOL I didn't think he knew that many curse words...

 

[appnut]

Well, that's what hubby gets for whining about lack of open floor space.  You created it and now it needs to be popuolated in some manner.  It's a major resource that shouldn't be wasted.  I'd say that open floor space is destined to be all washed up and dried to boot!

Paul, what's sort of falling down beside the exiled Laundromat? Did he shoot down ducks in his rage or did the toxic fumes from the eruption destroy the wall paper paste?

What do you notice about the difference in agitation performance between the 206 and the 701? Have you tried putting the Power Fin in the 701? I have been told I foster unnatural practices.

Very nice Paul, you certainly have some wonderful machines, and quite a few of them at that, just like a few others I know, myself included

Appliance porn.....

Paul, What a beautiful line-up! Keep up the good work. Thank God for big basements {especially in the winter}. Thanks for sharing. Don

"I still have the bump on the head ." LOL

 

 

I hope you hit him right back, and hit him again for "musical bloody appliances."

 

Right away you can see an interesting variety of machines, some enviably rare. Very nice, Paul, and thanks for the morning chuckles. I think I laughed 4 times.
