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.

Beautiful and fun

What a fun and beautiful presentation of your new laundry. So much fun to see the UK machines, water heating and hookups.

It’s been a team event many thanks

The place wouldn’t have turned out as nice without my mates helping out . You can have ideas and plans but to be fair It’s always about team !!! Mike Richard Steve to name a few who have lugged machines from One place to another . Then all the other friends Steve Mc , Mathew Alistair and Ian who have all contributed to ideas and help repairing machines and giving helpful advice .
I’m so lucky to have some of the best friends ever . Thanks so much chaps

Welcome to the new Lincoln Launderama

Hi Eddie
The kitchen is a haven of warmth with the slow release heat from the Rayburn range and now also with the underfloor heating.

Morning Louis
Yes indeed, great selection of vintage irons from Morphy Richard Hoover & Hotpoint. Next step rotary ironer lol....

Hello Walter
Oh you did make me laugh with that comment, as we say the Devil in the Detail, its another lovely home and display space, Darren managed to source a box of vintage Bendix taps for each washer.

Hi Mickey
Oh you`ll be in washer heaven with this room, yes all those traditional wringer washers from English Electric and Hotpoint, the Bendix bolt downs which are not often found working by the need to actually square and bolt down.
The Parnal semi automatic top loaders are fab being able to control everything even the sudz save but watch those hoses ha ha..

Hi Martin
Thanks, great we are able to share, it makes the difference when a group who didnt know each before other come together through the love and hobby of appliances are now great friends.
Always fun, banter and laughter and like on this site its great to see appliances and different workings from all corners the world !!

 

[launderess]

I think it's tremendous!

Very well done! Congrats on such a massive effort, so well planned and executed, am just stunned taking it all in.

Then to top it all off G&T along with nibbles? May have to consider moving house to your side of pond. There is that darned cold and damp weather, but could lay in a supply of thick vests and pulls!

Enjoy the results of all your labors, well deserved.

Welcome to the new Lincoln Launderama

Fab pics Darren, hard to imagine what it was like before, its gonna be a great space to walk into and use and you really have taken the bolt down Bendixxii to the next level. !!

Morning Ian
Well you`re gonna be in appliance heaven with this lot, theres even fill and drain hoses behind each wringer washer , mind nothing like gliding a Hotpoint or English Electric across a tiled floor ha ha..

Morning Launderess
Thanks , we aim to please and if a jobs worth doing haha , Gin over here at the moment is taking a big revival , especially small distillers, we have a great local family one in Manchester its a family of 11

Welcome to the new Lincoln Launderama

Here's one for you Launderess, Darren's even renovated a fully worked vintage call bell system...

"More Tea Vicar".....Sitting Room Jeeves !!

 

[launderess]

Ruby! That wretched girl!

I love it! Where on earth did you come upon such a thing?

 

[slowspin66]

The Bells The Bells .......

Well the bell indicator came from an antique market/ junk . The bell itself and the Bakelite switch came from Ian Hazelhurst another good friend! It runs off a 12 volt transformer and Mathew Thomas tested the transformer to make sure we weren’t about to blow the box up or the house !!!
My very clever Uncle wired the box some years ago before he died . So again another team effort ......it’s a very useful apparatus when you have guests staying as they can call for tea in bed first thing in morning !!!!

"it’s a very useful apparatus when you have guests staying as they can call for tea in bed first thing in morning !!!!"

Oh no, no, no! No need for such early jumps. You should be employing the latest gadgetry - the Goblin Teasmade.

The detail.......

….the fabulous detail of it all; I am just over dosing on this thread like a cat that's found catnip.

Darren,

Do you use the vintage refridgerator and cooker?

Have you decorated/furnished the rest of the house in a similar style to the kitchen/pantry/laundry?

Regards, Walter.

 

[Marky_Mark]

Oh wow how absolutely wonderful!  Such attention to detail.  Looking forward to seeing it in person 

 

[alanlondon]

Super read

A very well done Darren and team, it looks absolutely amazing. And thank you Mike for documenting and sharing the details so well. So interesting to see what members are doing.

Cheers, Alan

Hi Darren.

Absolutely wonderful!
Ooozes atmosphere and your restorations are superb - the bolt downs and Parnall's look in fabulous condition and your whole set up is a testament to the hard work put into the project.

Lovely that you have an operational LT - there were a couple of those knocking around in my family in the dim and distant past.

All the best to you.
Paul
