Saving the Earth:)

We can now wash and dry our clothes at home!!! The washer and dryer that came with the house work just fine. My dad was able to connect the plumbing for the washer, so we thought we were set. However, my dad was not able to connect the washer to the drain. So, we spent about some time at Lowe's yesterday trying to think of an alternative to the drain. And now, we're saving the earth and cleaning our clothes at the same time!

We purchased a large trash can to drain the water from the washer. Then we put a sump pump in the can, connected a garden hose, and VOILA-- we're draining the washer and watering the lawn!

While we're excited about that, we are also pumped about our new 75' clothesline. I'm happy as a clam! :)
