Hooking washer to sink
I can understand your loss on losing your job. I worked for the phone company and was one of the nearly 500 that got the ax in Northern New England, some had nearly 40 years, starting with Ma Bell. How I did it was if you can locate the washer real close to the sink so the hoses fit, thats the easiest. A Y type of connector that screws on the faucet where the aerator is to connect both hot and cold hoses, setting the washer temp on warm so both inlets are open and adjusting the temp you want at the tap. Then fit the drain hose into the sink, remembering to take the basket strainer out, so it stays put. If you have to roll it to the sink, put some casters on the bottom that lock where the leveling legs are as when it spins off balance you might have a mess and the washer might end up in the next room.

joefuss1984, I started there right when Lucent Technologies sold out to Verizon and then they sold out to Fairpoint. Lots of internal hidden problems surfaced that screwed all the workers. But Fairpoint tried to do the best they could and the conversion was a total mess and tons of people abanboned their landlines and they had no choice to survive. I dont think I will ever be called back, nor do I want to. I work for LL Bean now and love it.

Make sure you check with the building management/owner to ensure that a portable washer, dishwasher, etc. is allowed. I lived in an apartment building in Toronto and bought a portable washer which I connected to the kitchen faucet. Maintenance came in one day, discovered the washer and next thing I know I am being threatened with eviction if the washer was not removed within 7 days. They said portable machines were not allowed because connecting them to the faucet caused hot water fluctuations and could cause scaulding in the other units. I thought it was a bunch of bullsh** .... they just didn't like that I was no longer using the coin operated laundry in the basement.

Sorry about your job loss. I was laid off two years ago, after three months I got my dream job with a pay increase. Now my company is being bought out and I may be losing this one. | ||
