The Lefever Boys will be there and I may bring an extra washer.
I have an excellent Calypso [ bisk in color ] that needs a home, also have a late 90s WP DD Resource Saver fully rebuilt and ready to go and a F&P TP washer that has a new water pump and works great. If either our host or any other attendees want any of these interesting washers I will bring it along and they can buy it from us.
The calypso $200, the WP DD RS or the F&P $100.
Thanks John L. |

I'll be there with a handful of washing, too! I can't wait, it's going to be a fun week and taping for TV...awesome! Can't wait to see everyone.
Paul, you and I can wash the dishes and let the cooks cook! I'm making Eddie's cheesecake Saturday for Father's Day dessert and if it doesn't turn out, he may have some lessons on his schedule! |

Call or text me. I had to have one of the ovens at work done over and the New thermostat which is spot on, the cheesecake seems to like 250 much better. I was using a whacked oven for a long time. Try that and check it after an hour. Can't wait to see you and all.
And Mr. Kerrrrrslapppp... Call me and let's talk about the Culinary end of this Wing Ding !!! |

I've heard mention of and rumors of the storage unit as well as the attic. It's understood subsidence is an issue along coastak areas. It's the weight of Jetcone's collection scattered throughout his property and nearby storage. Plymouth Rock withstood all these centuries, but not the Jetcone Collection!!! |

For hosting another great wash-in, and all who helped. I think we all had a great time and showed Bill Geist and CBS what washer collecting is all about.
Here are a few pics of the event, they are of the interview portion, I tried to stay out of the way when they were filming the washers. Thanks Eddie for the fantastic food you provided, we are still enjoying the leftovers. |

Jon, thank you again for allowing us the chance to eat all your food, drink all your booze, exhaust the dog AND get to play with all your machines! It was great fun to finally get down to the house on the Cape, too - I wish we could have stayed longer.
It was fun to see everyone again! The folks at the border just scratched their heads when we crossed back into Canada with the two vintage dishwashers, parts, the Frigidaire cooktops, etc, etc...
I didn't take a lot of photos, but this one was a 'zen moment' with the Youngstown Jet-Tower...
And for dinner tonight, I have planned ham. It should be my favourite dish apparently....

What a week it's been! Good people, good food and lots of laughs.
I left home last Friday in the rain and bought a Homart dishwasher in mid-air that a friend of mine found in an old house in Omaha. It's waiting for my return tomorrow to pick up. I'll post more on that later once I get it home. Not wanting to fall behind in the tech-toy area, I brought a new selfie-stick that you can see Jon got quite a kick out of. We went to Jon's business and brought home his Hoover model 28 vacuum - despite the earnest objection of Jon and surprise of everyone else. We bought some flowers for the planter on Jon's deck and Jeff, Cal and I got them planted to add even more cheerful color to the beautiful early summer foliage in Jon's yard. Yes, all we could find for our deck box was a pitchfork to turn the soil and then found only worm castings at Whole Foods to supplement the soil we had. Don't ask how much we paid for that ;-) It seemed everyone's spirits were lifted even more by the news from the Supreme court earlier that morning that many of us saw our own 'arc of history bend toward freedom and justice.' It truly was fun to be able to celebrate this victory with good friends. |

Friday evening, we spent most of our time helping Jon get the basement ready for filming. Even with taking many watch-the-washer-run breaks, many hands made short work of the tidying up. Jon has some rare and beautiful machines in his collection and we enjoyed polishing them up and getting to know some of the new arrivals.

More of Jon's amazing home and small appliance collection. We had a great dinner Friday night and with lots of laughing and of course, one of the best desserts of the week. Ken brought a wonderful cake, fruit, coconut and chocolate - what's not to love? We all had a great time talking and catching up and Ken gave a fascinating talk on the wonders of bread making. Cal and I both wished we'd been videoing that!

Filming started Monday morning and went through most of the day. For those that haven't experienced it, the process takes much longer than one would imagine. Bill Geist and his crew were very nice and seemed like they had a good time with everyone and enjoyed getting to know each person with a few questions and introductions from all of us.
We had a little more fun with the selfie-stick and failed at getting a group shot at the end of the day. Still, everyone enjoyed the time together and Eddy (toploader55 brought some of the best chowder I've had yet! Thanks again Eddy! |

Filming of more machines and action shots took a bit longer Tuesday morning to wrap up and then Fred, Jon, Artemis and I headed for Cape Cod. Phil and Paul and Jeff and Cal headed to the Cape as well. Jon has a home in Chatham and we spent the rest of our week relaxing on the front porch after our busy weekend and filming day on Monday. It was so nice to get there, knowing the do-nothing vacation had officially started!
We got Chinese food for dinner and narrowly missed (or caught?) the Chatham baseball team swarming the restaurant. We always take a peek at the haul-away pile at the local appliance store and saw an early 70's Kenmore washer. Despite my pleading and efforts to convince Jon, we left the KM behind. Lol. Phil and Paul were only able to stay overnight on the Cape and headed out the next morning for home. Wish they could have stayed longer, we all had such a great time together. Jeff and Cal brought some of their wedding cake from the week before so we got to celebrate their marriage with them, with delicious lemon buttercream cake. They were married in Maryland on their 35th anniversary - congratulations again!! Jon and I stumbled across a set of three Stickley chairs for his kitchen at the Cape so we spent some time cleaning and polishing them. After that, we made a trip to the Chatham Transfer Station and the "Dump Gift Shop" as Jon calls it. As tradition demands, we had a couple of evening strolls to Buffy's Ice Cream shop for some of the best ice cream and sundaes ever. Upon arriving back in Boston this afternoon, Jon opened a package that arrived to find a very vintage Speakman shower head he found on ebay. 3 1/2 pounds of solid brass and copper! Can you imagine the pressure from that? It's going to be decadent and wonderful. |

thank you!
And a big Thank You to all who came and supported and helped clean with this great group effort to show off our club ! My basement was a disaster and Greg, Cal, Jeff, Fred, Phil and Paul really put out Saturday and Sunday to transform it into a show room for Bill & Amy & Henri & Andy the CBS Crew! This was a great group effort by all! And yes Mike, love your suggestion on Rosalie's placement but Bill & Amy were already curious about Rosalie's and queried me on it's development within the context of the club. So our Club Detergent has been revealed to all LOL ! The woman speaking in #8 is Amy Rosner the Producer for Bill's segments, a pleasure to work with she is easy and knows the shots she wants to get and also keeps Bill busy but never exhausted.
Bill and I got to talk about all kinds of things not washer related in between takes. He is a very interesting fellow to sit down with and just talk! Henri the Cameraman was a joy to work with, he showed Jeff & I many pieces of equipment he has mastery of. Gave us lots of tips too. It was He who had the idea to put a GoPro Camera into my washers to get the "laundry - view". I hope those segments make it into the piece! We need to start filming our washers from the "tub out" People ! Andy the Soundman was ever present but out of the way catching every utterance from everybody. I must say Andy & Henri both look like what I would say is a Cameraman and Soundman !!
It was fun getting to know the newbies and watching Mike & Mark transfixed doing laundry. Thank god all the machines performed, those who host know how that can be a huge problem on Wash-In Day !! Phil you saved the 1938 Bendix from leaping across the basement single handedly! That little 1938 Bendix was the star for me , it hadn't seen water since 1953 and just rolled right along !
Jeff thank you for restoring my 1989 Sub Zero to better than new condition again, you toiled all morning! Cal no one can Flower like you , they are beautiful ! Paul, you are the best go getter a guy ever had ! And no one can direct me better in "Clean" than the master himself Greg !! Eddie, as always I love your cooking! I have for 35 years !!! You are a real trooper thank you!
And thank you CBS Crew Bill, Amy, Henri & Andy, for a most interesting and fun time and for taking the time to come up here and capture our Wash-In !!
It was a great time with lots of great memories ! This post was last edited 07/05/2015 at 11:10 |

Jon, all the praise you bestowed on everyone who participated and pitched in with their special talents, just makes me think Kelly, Terry, and Alan were their to guide everyone along in their special talents. I have tears in my eyes just writing these words. Whenever I am able to attend my next Wash-in, will be the first one without all 3 of them. |

What a wonderful weekend! Jon, you and Artemis are fabulous hosts. What a great bunch of people to hang out with.
It was all going so well until one of the Unimatic's hoses burst. John, I told you this could happen...

Love the pics and yes who better than to call on the big guns when the ya home needs that extra special detailing for filming, looks an enjoyable joint effort - well done to you all!!
As much as the Directors and Presenters make a show its those "Special" behind the scenes cameramen and sound guys that make the difference, look forward to seeing the finished article and hopefully getting the scraps from the cutting room floor!! A big "Congratulations" to Jeff & Cal from me as well, 35 years is a celebration and more.. |
