The Ogden Laundry Comeback

[jetcone]

Love the(nite) halloween shot there!

Nice job Paul, now winter laundry days will be a blast! Who rebuilt the westy timer MTS? You've got the original agitator in your '63 Frigidaire, best turnover ever with that agitator!

Sweet photos Paul! Looks like the transformation was a complete success! Thanks for sharing, looks like this is a place for a Canadian Wash-In LOL Enjoy it, it looks like its lots of fun.

Agree with everyone

The lit up Whirlpools in the dark are as pretty and exotic as something off the Serengeti plains at night, and the new paint is just sooooh nice.

Would love to see more of the 63 Mulit. That's the exact model my Aunt Margaret had, and I haven't seen one since. I loved that washer. Great to see that you have one, Paul.

Paul - looking good down there! While the machines are a handful, getting the room set-up with plumbing, electrical, venting, paint, flooring is just as much effort as any restoration undertaking.

Great job! Jealous!!

A combo you say eh!

A combo may look nice Paul, you never know! I'm glad you got a good nights rest and some breakfast before leaving to Maryland. You looked pretty sleepy by the time you got to me that night lol. There was no way I was gonna make you stay in some motel overnight

YAY FOR PROGRESS!!!!!!!

 

 

CONGRATS Paul on your "new and very improved" basement / laundry room, it looks fantastic!   

 

Now all I have to do is figure out a way to get up there to check it out in person!

Things seem to have seriously changed in your basement in the last few weeks!

 

[mistereric]

Wow! Love it. Seems much bigger and more inviting with the lighter color!

....And the rooms are never done. I'm constantly re-arranging, painting, etc. but that's part of the fun, or so they tell me. Your new laundry crib looks spectacular. Have fun hanging signs, ads and things on the walls. Congrats on your "new" space, enjoy!

The maiden wash weekend

After a slightly rough start to the weekend (I managed to leave my keys safely locked in the apartment in town, along with the dog, and hubby was on a plane to London...) I finally got to try out the new plumbing, wiring, and venting. Echo was not impressed, however... He wanted to go out and chase deer instead...

 

[turquoisedude]

I was itching to run this new treasure with some real laundry!

 

[turquoisedude]

I managed to have forgotten the camera that can take video, so I tried to capture the first real wash in still photos. The 'new' Whirlpool quickly proved itself as a performer!

After the 'neutral drain'

 

[turquoisedude]

And this caused a bit of a 'suds spit-up' in the last drain port in the new line... A small spill occurred at the Maytag drain. I am going to extend the pipe a little and hope that resolves the issue!
