Tony (my partner who was at the wash-in) is making me ask a question to you all. Why are so many washing machine baskets painted that dark speckled color? Is there a specific reason for this or is it just tradition? Just wondering! :-) (Terry said that if Tony asked a little question in the forum, that would make him seem interested in machines even though he really isn't! haha) | ||

Easier to hide imperfections in coloring when speckeled, as well. Washer tubs that are all-white show a ring of dirt where the water-line is. Ditto white agitators. White dryer drums turn blue and green from jeans etc. On uber-pricey top-shelf ovens (perhaps Wolf, Vulcan) you will see speckled porcelain interiors, and they will tell you flat out: to help hide some dirt. | ||

Omaha??? HECK YAH!
Terry, You know we'll be there! You know I've been addicted to two things since my infant days, lawn sprinklers and washing machines. Since moving to the DC area a few years ago I was sort of forced to forget about it until discovering this site. It sounds so silly, but it really did change me being in Tucson. I could stand in front of a Kenmore for hours and no one cared and in fact, they would stand there with me. It really is a special bond that we share. I hope you don't mind me being in the kitchen with you some this time. I didn't get any Kitchenaid time last weekend and I was so bummed! I got home and had to do a Bob-load in my own dishwasher just to get over it! Anyways, we had a blast and we will see everyone in September for sure. By the way, I think I may have my first vintage washer and dryer soon. I'll keep you updated on what it is. All I know so far is it's avocado green. My favorite!!! Love yah! Jon | ||

In the beginning... Jon, It was so nice to have another newbie without a wallet full of washing machine pictures to share the weekend with. Good luck controlling the collector bug. Kelly | ||

Control it???
Kelly, I think going to that washin pretty much made me lose control of the collector bug in me. Tony and I are looking into buying a house with a basement in Portland, OR right now. He's already said he plans on that basement being full of machines if we move there. hehe... We'll see what happens. It was sure nice meeting you! Jon | ||
