WOW Darren

You have been busy, The wash-room looks great, I hope poor Dorris will be ok in her new home.

 

Can't wait to come visit again some time and see this in person.

 

Do you use any of the Ascot water heaters ?, They look really cool, I recycled an interesting 1980s water heating unit that was part of a Gas High-Efficiency  home water heater to heat the water for my hot-tub, works great.

 

I have started remolding my home laundry room, your progress will inspire me to keep plugging along,

 

Mike, Ricky and Darren [ and I am sure there are others ]Thanks for sharing

Afternoon Keith, I`m sure Darren will be along shortly busy with work etc..oh yes he did mention dropping those off to you years ago on his way to Gatwick, youll have a fab time I`m sure when you get up to see the new washroom -AND dont forget the pedal power Thor for spares you mentioned him having a few yrs ago , may be needing it with all these renovations lol..

Cheers, Mike

Hi Mike,

I was speaking to Darren about the Thor etc the other day, I think he has the earlier model if it's the one in the corner of the garage or it maybe it was a 260 that he got a few years ago, I can't remember if it was Darren or someone else.

I need to start to make one good one out of the 3 Foot pedal machines I've got, time is just never on my side these days. LOL
Cheers
Keith

Congratulations on your Beautiful New Laundry !!!

And your Kitchen has a very warm feel.

Great Job.

 

[foraloysius]

Great new washroom! Congratulations! Great to have enough irons to let the whole gang do the ironing, I would save up! lol. Also nice to see a few Kenwood mixers! Happy washing (and baking)!

Hello Mike, Darren.

Absolutely fantastic, I thought I was a stickler for detail but you must be awarded the grand prize.

Best wishes, Walter, Newport, Shropshire.

Washer Dream Room!

A sight to behold! In Reply 2, the Square open conventional, just begging for a load had me hooked, later learning that it was an English Electric
with dials and "levers" to die for. Then all those magnificent semi-automatics with suds-savers and hoses everywhere--pure washer fetish.

You know, considering the the way you gentlemen restore and celebrate wringers, twinnies, and semi-automatics--sometimes I think I was born in the wrong country.
