Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

and now, pics of the modern automatics That came with the house that was built 1993/1994

Stove and Ref. Magic Chef and GE, REspectively.

The stove came bolted to the floor and the ref also has that, plus a bracket securing it to the wall.

IMHO- And now for the most health-endangering appliance of them all.

This house is all-electric which is a pricey energy cost but do-able in Pennsylvania.

The elderly couple before the present owner added an UNVENTED propane-fired gas heater, to boost comofort and control costs. (Another reason may have been the baseboard-style electic heaters throughout have thermostats on the units themselves (right at floor level) making adjustments to temperature a PITA.

I implored the owner to avoid using it and to get a vented heater instead.

Next to the gas heater is a pre-packaged wood-burning fireplace with a heat recovery fan.

Unvented Propane Gas Heater

Boo-hiss!!!

Death by carbon-monoxide and water vapor(which leads to mold growth.)

We wont even discuass the yellow film that will engulf eveything eventually.

The 2 x 4 wooden studs behind it keep it away from flammable surgface. Come to think of it, metal here might make a bit more sense. LOL

Actually I hope this heater was used only for black-out situations, but then what is wrong with the wood-burning fireplace for that?

And yes, I could not wait to get home to central-air and WHITE switches and outlets, WHITE curtains, WHITE blinds WHITE mouldings, and WHITE appliances.

Beige upon beige upon almond (appliances) upon wood-tones, upon paneling. OMG I can only take so much. LOL !!!!!!

Toggle,

I don't live that far from the Poconos. It takes me about 30 minutes to get to Camelback Ski resort and the Crossings for shopping. I have gone camping up that way also.

Those modular home are very popular in PA. My buddy lives close to many of the manufactures out in western PA.. IF you drive out route 80 towards Erie you will lots of them on the highway traveling eastbound being delivered. There are two new developments beigng built close to where I work for the 55 plus age group. Most of them have very nice spacious floor plans and here they are built on full basement foundations with a two car garage and large decks

nice pictures. The GE looks like the same vintage as our first TL late 80's ours was the large capcity with the mini basket.

Love those old wringer washers, were they just dumped out there or were they trying to sell them. Now they would be a restoration project.

I realy love the energy in PA. It is magical. Leave NY and NJ and you can FEEL it.

My sister is in the New Hope/Newtown Pennsylvania area with access to Philadelphia.

One day I will move there. Like everyone else I will start with a small summer home, then eventually make it my full-time residence, if all goes well.

My brohter-in-law literally has corn-fields in his backyard and insists he is in the suburbs. He gets so irritated when we NY City-ites call it the country. (My sister just rolls her eyes at his words and stays silent. She sometime leaves the room to avoid bursting out laughing.)

There are more coutnry crafts and junky shit "collectibles" per square mile than I have ever cared to see....

By my definition, if you dont have natural gas, "youz in the cuntry now!"
