Went to an estate sale for an eighty year old woman who went to a nursing home. Went down the basement and found these beauties. The basement was one of those old dark, dank, musty basements you see in horror movies that everyone seems to go down to when they hear a noise in the middle of the night. The people running the sale told me both worked and the woman was using them until she was sent to the home. Yah, sure!!! Anyway, I couldn't test them because the wiring in the home was so bad that everytime someone tested out something electrical while we were there the circuit breaker in the house would trip and all the lights would go out. In fact in happened while we were there in the basement------- felt like Jason was going to come around the corner.
The stairs out of the basement were the old open wooden kind with no back and no railings and very steep. How the old lady didn't fall on these stairs and break her neck I'll never know.
The washer was one of the heaviest that I've moved so far. It must have weighed a ton. It took three of us to haul it up the stairs. Of course we're trying to do this while the estate sale was going on. And of course it was Saturday and very busy. And of course at that precise time all 100 people that were upstairs decided to come downstairs to the basement. Anyway, once we got to the landing we had to make two 90 degree turns to get the set out the back door. It was so tight that we couldn't manuever them with the dolly on so I got the bright idea to take them off the dolly and put a throw rug under them. That way we could slide them on the linoleum and make the turns---- worked like a charm.
Half hour later, finally got them outside and on the truck. After 40 years in that basement the Ladies finally got to see the light of day.
