Some interesting things about washers here:
-most of the top-load washers, the lid actually folds in half.
-washers are measured by how many kilos of laundry it can do. Due to the type I wanted, mine is 7.5k (16.5lbs); a friend informed me that my washer is "nearly industrial!" Which struck me really funny, because of how small it is. :-)
-until further notice, my washer drains into the right side of the kitchen sink. The plumber was supposed to come at 8am, but for some reason didn't come today.
-next to the washer is a little Rubbermaid(ish) container holding my laundry detergent. I'm hoping this deters critters from living inside of it.
-Wanda likes doing laundry so much, she plays a song at the end of the wash cycle. This makes me happy!
The landlady is loaning me this table and the chairs until I get my own. It's been nice to have a place to eat & have grammar class. The green tray on the table was a necessary purchase. It's ideal here to serve drinks on a tray, so when I have a group over I empty the items off the tray & use it for juice or water. Can you see the little spray bottle next to the sink? It gets used pretty often, because it's 50/50 water/vinegar. I'm trying to get rid of gnats that have decided to take over the kitchen.
The stove hasn't been announced here either, but I got it last month. It's a four burner, but the oven space is a lot smaller than we would normally find in the U.S. It has a little cover over it, and I really don't know why. But it comes in handy since the only place to put it is under the chimney that the bugs come down from. And, yes, that little green bottle peeking around the side is a propane tank...in the house...next to the flaming stove. It still makes me a little nervous, and I usually turn the gas off each time I'm done using the stove "just in case." A few weeks ago I was also able to get my water filter put together. I'm very happy to have this done, and I'm enjoying drinking many liters of rust-free water everyday!
