sorta.                      I put things in these bags that hang from hooks in the back room.   When there are no more bags,  no more room,   nothing left to wear,         i have to go.     To Alyssia's.    that happens less and less frequently.    There's no reason why,   it's fine,  the kids help me bring the bags in.    We do things while the loads do things.    Her washer is the kind that's very efficient,  but

slow

and then,   the dryer time.   It's all afternoon,  two loads.   Loaded up in the end and driven back here and unloaded here and put "away".       Especially with "winter" stuff,   necessary.    but now,    light laundry………

I have continued watching the HOWA,   Bob Wells,   Quartzite  U Tubes    Follow some People living full time in their cars or vans     In my heart,  it's still an option   and i love so much that Peggy Mc G is    On the road               so there are the associated U Tubes    and i just got all taken by this Washing Machine one.        2 buckets.   one with one inch holes drilled about every 4 inches or so around for two rows,   approx 4 inches apart and then 4 on the bottom      insert in other bucket    fill with water to cover    Plunger to be the  "agitator"    and when not washing,   the bucket without holes for so many other purposes,   ie a toilet. or just a seat or just a little round end table.         Here,   it's  maiden voyage with the bedspread that i used to cover OOna when she was dying,   that's been hanging on the fence all through the winter months….      i got the buckets at Ace Hardware last week   Jenny brought her drill.      It makes me

Happy

 

forgot:  Plunger also has 4 drilled holes

    This seems like a very clever idea. We are too reliant on electricity. It’s good to realize there are other ways.

    I have been once again visiting places without enough internet service to open your blog! So today was thrilling to hear you are still watching Bob Wells! I am back to my daughters in MN again and assessing all the items I have hauled this trip, and what is hanging out in her basement. Being ruthless. More crafts and less tools is how it will go this time. Your wash bucket is loved and used by many of my friends. So glad you are trying it out!!!
