I had to smirk!
The self-stick tile in the kitchen was the same one I put in my apartment in the 1980s! If you'll catch old episodes of "Roseanne", you'll see she has the same pattern!
The Admiral washer is a late-model exclusive from The Home Depot. While not as flexible and efficient as the previous models, it does the job for a cheap purchase price. Albeit noisily! The "dead" washer is similar to the GE I have. Pretty good workhorse, especially the final spray-rinse in the spin cycle. I sold a lot of them when I worked at THD. That one and the Admiral were usually "landlord specials".
I wish you luck finding a "shelf" type dryer door. Most nowadays are outfitted so they can be swapped for left- or right-opening option. Allows you to put laundry basket right underneath to empty. Also to eliminate the problem of having the dryer next to a door. Many was the time I'd be unloading my OL's drop-down-door Kenmore only to have my OM come barreling thru the back door. Get out the screwdriver and pliers...
Glad you enjoyed your FL visit. E-me next time you're down. We can have a mini wash-in.
