Well as some of you may know I've been busy with moving, it's not easy putting 35 washers and dryers into storage then moving them into the new place. Most are still out in the carport. Got some strange looks from the neighbors moving them here. Anyway here's a little preview of the new laundry room, although they aren't all in their places yet. Hookups are finished for 13 washers.

the first picture took my breath away, AND among other thing
am not ashamed to admit it. Your Speed Queen collection is breath-taking. Hoping to appear not too stupid, since I took piano lessons during 6th grade geography and forget where B.C.is , I live 10 minutes away from Ontario, and having been a member only 2&1/2 years, I don't know where you moved from. Nevertheless, I am very happy to know you and now I GET YOU with your daily driving Maytag wringer. Mine is identical in black and green but square. I bet you recycle water. I spent part of the evening taking pix of the SQ with the Norge agitator and I got soaking wet and loved it. The whole basement got drenched, and it is my sincerest hope that the pix become amazing. Like you and the great AWorg patriarch, Gyrafoam, I change washers with seasons, but there is always an automatic rapid-advancing, and a wringer wringing, and a Twin-tub spinning somewhere in my home. We need to come out of the closet about out love for washing machines, and celebrate what we're really here for, the neighbors be damned.

nice hearing from you all
Thank you everyone for your comments, and hopefully one day if any of you are in the area you will contact me and come over for a wash-in and visit. We live in Burnaby, which is the city ajoining Vancouver to the east. A 20 minute car ride to Downtown Vancouver. John, you're right next door, come on over sometime. Brian, those Kelvinators are still in the carport. They're coming in soon. Rich, I didn't forget the Sherwood Green Filtrator, it's on the other side. You too Ben, Steve, Ross, Lawrence, Patrick, plan a trip to Vancouver sometime all you guys! The same for the newer members, don't hestiate to give me a shout. Here's the latest wringer washer that came home: A Viking

hehehe I bet .....that its incomprehensible to the normals when they see something like this. Its one thing to put washer after washer in your garage or basement over time but, to see them pulled out and moved must really make those guys scratch thier heads. One wonders what Gladys would think. ABNER!!!!!! | ||

Love the knotty Pine!
Eddy the cousins are screaming at me to get my butt out there for a visit. So warm up the dryers and lets fill those tubs! Congratulations on your new home! The "normals" need a wake up call, they consume too much whereas you have recycled life into these machines so new ones aren't needed! cheers from one baement to another from me and artey!

Jon you're overdue
I'm revving up the machines! The Viking 6 vane agitator ANNIHILATES dirt. See pic below. Mike, you mentioned running new copper lines in. Well we just had a burst line underground and had to replace a section already. I'm thinking of doing 3/4 copper in all the way. Thanks to all for the kind remarks!

lint filter
Hi Brian, the lint filter was simply the drain hose put through the hole in the lid and strained through a stationary filter. Mine doesn't have the filter but it has the hole in the lid. I guess I could put something like a mesh over the hose and filter the water while I wash. BTW I'd love to see a pic of your harvest gold GSW wringer, that would be a Beatty, no? I've seen square tub Vikings before but not lately. So Malcolm you saw the vids, glad you liked them. Eddy

another question So when the washer was washing did you just put the pump on drain and it would pump the water thru the filter? Or did the washer do it automatically when you started it? Your deluxe model was also insulated? It must be as heavy as hell. | ||

exactly
I just put a nylon mesh on the end of the hose, like some sleazy pantyhose or whatever material I have lying around. Then just turn the lever to pump. No, nothing automatic at all, except for the timer which will time the wash and shut the machine off. This model doesn't appear to be insulated although it's a very heavy machine.
