The new place - and a filled up basement!

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

Help Support :

Congratulations on the house purchase, I'm assuming it's your first time? We still have 2 weeks to go before we get possession of ours and I'm about coming out of my skin all this waiting.. LOL
Wouldn't it be fun if you have a Gladys Kravitz neighbor lady and what she's saying to her Abner about all those washers that were going into your house. Can imagine what our new neighbors will think when they see me toting in scads of vacuum cleaners LOL.
BTW, get those leaves raked up!!! I took a walk by our new place yesterday and it looks very similar.. tons and tons of leaves so now I'm wanting a chipper shredder and I haven't even moved in yet.
 
great space !!!

nice work Ben ........ you must be psyched ! ! ! , is that your house ? looks great
 
Okay - I've put a few more photos together of the main floor of the house. Each photo was taken possibly at a different time than the next, so you will see some 'before' photos, and a few after photos. Also, I have determined that the 'ghost spots' are actually just dust particles that the flash bounces off of when I was taking the photograph. Yes, you will see the house does need work, but it has a ton of potential.

Pete - I did rake the leaves yesterday, but when I stopped by the house this evening for some more interior work, MORE leaves have covered the lawn - again. Perfect!

And here is the answer to the little pop quiz I presented earlier. You will notice the color used to write out 'KitchenAid' changed from a greenish hue to a yellow. Also, it appears the indicators went from a greenish color as well to more of an amber. The very slight change that took me a bit figure out was what Jeff had mentioned before. They moved the Superba from the chrome strip on the 17, to the center of the face of the 17A, to make room for the Energy Saver button! Still, both are very nice looking machines. How often do you see both sitting right next to each other?

Love the basement

What a wonderful Midwestern Home. Out here in California almost no one has a basement. There you need to build the foundation down below the freeze line, so why not make it usefull? So you have all that "extra" space, so perfect for a washer collection.

You have a great collection of washers and dryers, and a great place to play with them.

I love the home also, you'll have a lot of fun making it your special place.

what a beautiful house

and what amazing machines. Green with envy for that golden Frigidaire Perforated Circle Spray
 
oh Ben.....

Your new house has so much potential ! You will turn it into a beautiful home in now time I am sure ! I love the entryway with the stairs coming up, and then the stairs going up from the fireplace. And the fireplace is such a beaut! I love how it is framed with open space around it. <P> Can't wait to see more pics ! <p> Congratulations !!
 
Thanks for posting pictures of the interior...not bad at all! I agree with Tom that the "room dividing" fireplace/mantle is nice.
 
Congrads Ben..

Nice house. have your neighbors said anything about the appliances?

I just love the 70s basement with the 1/3 paneling and harvest gold walls.

How fortunate you are to have the 2 70s KAs in succession.
I had the KDS-17 as my first KA (1982). It also had a wood panel although it was dark wood. But the motor was defective. I hope yours operates with out problems.

Thanks for showing pics of you house as well as your respectible appliance collection.
 
On Sunday, I saw my next door neighbor out talking with another neighbor. I decided that I should go introduce myself and inquire about about trash day, some bushes, etc. They had mentioned the trailer full of washers, and asked what I was going to do with them. My counter question to Gladys (after explaining my hobby) was, Oh, so do you have any old washers or appliances in your basement?

Both the middle aged women stood there silent for a good 15 seconds.

This is going to get very interesting, to say the least ;-)

You should have told them that you remove the lids and use them as planters in the front yard. <grin>

You have your work cut out for you Ben, but this house has nice big rooms, lots of windows, and best of all, you can make it your own.
 
That house is going to be lovely. If you hate wallpaper, you should have seen what my first house looked like when I bought it - it was entirely full of hideous wallpaper.
