Appliances


Life is beginning to return to a new normal.  We're doing the 'normal' things now:  homework, school work, work-work, housework, cooking, cleaning, and drinking tea.  For now, it's less exploring and more time on everyday experiences.


You might enjoy a look at our appliances, which are a tad different that we are accustomed:
We chose not to have a TV, which is working quite well.  NetFlix does the job!


Yes, the dishwasher runs for 2.25 hours!  At least there is one!
The dishwasher, for which we are very grateful, runs for over two hours. 
Yes, this load takes 2.5 hours!
The washer takes between 2 1/2 hours and one hour per small load. 
The dryer.
The 'dryer' takes 12-48 hours. 
Manual version of 'weed wacker'.  Allen is trading in his lawn service for 'manual' labour- literally!
Allen's manual weed eater.  He did about .01% of the garden before he took a break/gave up.
Note that when using the hedge trimmer, one must be careful to avoid cutting the cord.  At least it's electric and works quite well...when the cord is intact!
On the positive side, the stove can bring a pot of water to boiling in just a few seconds and the oven works quite well. It's been quite an adventure and we are having fun learning how everything works.
