It's silly really, but I'm excited.

I must be just dirt poor.

We have a washing machine, but we never use it. If we want some clothes cleaned, we wash them in the bath tub. Sounds cheap and stupid but when I lived overseas, that is what I did (and I owned a washing machine there also). It is faster washing the clothes by hand. It provides some exercise and the clothes generally come out a lot cleaner.

Well, that is my two worthless cents worth.

I'm with you, BigJohn. We don't have electricity, and washing a few clothes in the tub is so much less hassle and expense than packing them up and hauling them to the laundromat, that we usually do that instead. Did spring for a wringer a few years ago (just the wringer, not the whole washer - yep, they still make them new!), and that really helps. Gets them drier than the spin cycle!
