I am painting for two 80 year old twin sisters. They never married, never been apart for one day, every job they have had together and they sleep in the same bed. I'm not sure if they are eccentric or just plain weird? My uncle that went to school with them always said it would be good to marry one of them. If one broke down, you could use the other for parts. The sad thing is, one now has dementia. Yesterday was wash day. The sister have dressed alike for 80 years. On the clothes line outside, all their clothes are hung side by side. It was really windy and they brought the clothes in. They were hung back up downstairs, same order.

I always liked these laundry tubs the best.....I have a Crane porcelain one, and yes, they are to low, to fix that, take a 4x4, measure front to back and cut, leave the legs on the floor, and raise the tub, sliding the boards under on each end.....raises the tub even with the machines......I need to get you a pic of mine...
very nice and clean laundry and basement area... |

Concrete laundry sinks and wooden clothespins... They are still made here in Brazil and still very popular. There are many modern ceramic laundry tubs (the most famous are Deca and Incepa, but the old concrete laundry tub is still commons in lots houses and everybody can still buy them new. About the clothespins... well, they are inexpensive, much better than the plastic ones and last almost forever. |

Love stories like this. You can tell there is so much ritual and routine that happened with great care in this space. It's like when going to an estate sale and getting a glimpse into how people lived in there home .... a very private things that we all get to see. Fun .... and insightful psf |
