I do worry about that, but it hasn't happened yet. The worst thing that has happened is when the pump went out on the washer. See that little square panel at the bottom? That's where you have to drain out whatever water's left in the machine and it ain't easy the way they designed that being almost on the floor. There's a short drain tube in there and the only thing you can drain into is a flat pan because the tube is only about 4 inches long. I hope they've improved their design since I bought these, but everything else works great.If yer washer ever starts leaking (as happens to some models after some aging), you're not going to like that so much...
That's a magnetic panel that just sticks on the metal. I buy them at Collections etc.com. They have them for all seasons. They have ones for a full fridge too. I think they're around 12 bucks or so. I wanted to redo the backsplash because that old brick was there when we bought the house, but it was really ugly reddish, blackish rough stuff that the grease and everything stuck to. I cleaned them with TSP and then painted them with a high gloss, but now some of the bricks are chipping as you can see there in the pic. If I bang something against them--they crack. Another project for the future. Lol
That's a good idea, but I'd worry about water sitting in those that doesn't all drain into the tube. Mine haven't leaked so far and I've had them since 2007--I hope they never do.
That's not a bad idea. I still have to lug laundry from my second floor down to the kitchen. It's not as bad as when I had the laundry in the basement now, but we've been thinking about taking the extra spare bedroom adjoining the bathroom upstairs and turning that into a big bathroom with another stackable set of washer and dryer upstairs as well. Not like the big ones downstairs, but more like this.Our house was built back in the early seventies, when they built small bathrooms and closets in them. In the new addition we have walk-ins, but I still don't have enough closet space in the rest of the house. You should see my tiny linen closet downstairs--I have it packed with crap. Why they made such little closets in those days I have no idea. I guess people didn't live as large then as they do now or something.

I have a blank wall on my porch and I think these sculptures are so neat. I might try making something like this myself. It will probably end up being one of those Pinterest "nailed it" memes but what the heck.

Beautiful! Love those.
In my old house, which was perfect and pretty much my dream house...the dishwasher developed a slight leak that we did not know about. It pretty much ruined the plywood(or whatever it's called under the tile floor.) Now I know that they make a pan than can be installed under it. Next time I have a dishwasher...I am so doing that!
As for the water standing in the pan....I always thought I'd rather have it leak out the front so I would know there was a problem. But this talk of major ruptures accompanied by major flooding has me rethinking that plan.
I've got vinyl flooring in the kitchen right now, so I'm not too worried about a leak unless it's massive. One of these days when I don't have four cats, a dog and two peeps I'd like to have all of my downstairs floors redone, but right now they'd just destroy it. I have hardwood everywhere but the kitchen now. I'm happy with the vinyl--it cleans up really well.

One done... I was in Alabama the past few weeks so my DIY work slowed down:And my next next project... reupholster these beauties I bought for $30 (plus upholstery fabric was $18):
On the way back to dirty Jerz-ee I picked up a $3 white desk that I am going to work on too (probably with Americana chalk paint - amazing stuff, no need to prime or sand anything, even laminate).

I love that chalk paint. I've got a wall in my bay window that I'm thinking about painting a chalkboard on and putting some moulding around. If I were more artistic, I would paint a mural. It's a big wall but my kids (and husband)keep bumping up against it getting around the table and we had a few close calls with the large picture I used to have hanging there.
I like them too but I don't think they're going to happen. My husband said he didn't think they would go with the beer neon he has hanging back there. I hate that stupid neon. Right now our porch is an odd mix of nice stuff (me) and bar crap(him). The bar crap is slowly disappearing and getting replaced with nice stuff but the neon is one of the last hold outs.
This would be nice on the porch.

You sound like me, I've had to sacrifice redoing the upstairs media room/man cave/den. The only thing I'm allowed to do in there is decorate around my own recliner with a few little things. Hub said I have the rest of the house to do what I want with. I guess he's right--he's gotta have a space of his own, even though I protest his massive piles of stuff I'm not allowed to touch. Lol He's got a really weird sense of organization--but it seems to work for him somehow.
Good thread.
Anyhow, the reason I came in here is to ask when about bleaching my whites. I dumped some bleach in my whites last week and then when I went to put my socks on, my foot went right through it. I guess they got burned or something. I don't know. My tee shirts disintegrated too. There is a little dish there under the washer lid. I think that is where you're supposed to pour bleach. I didn't use it, though. Like I said, I just poured it in when it was filling. I guess I should likely use the dish thingamabob. So, I was just wondering when I do that. Do I fill that dish while the washer is filling or after it fills or some other time? I'd appreciate some tips.
I won't come in here any more. I was just wondering. I was going to go buy some new tee shirts anyhow before th mishap but my socks, I just bought the week before.
Thanks.
Well thanks, but I'm not one of those people who wants attention.I got you this just because ur awesome.

My husband does that too then he dumps them on the floor.
Lol--they're pretty comical aren't they. I always fold up three rows of his undies in his top drawer. When he goes through the first and second row, it's like that third row doesn't exist because he says--"hey, I'm out of undies, so go in there shove them from the back of the drawer to the front and they magically appear before his eyes.
Men's brains are not wired for this stuff. LolSMFH...LOL
You *are* special darlin! There's not too many guys who can do all of this stuff. You are gonna make some lady really happy one of these days.Srsly?
I do that too (minus my tie-dyes) - never had a problem. It wasn't until college I learned that most people separate their colors and their whites... and materials...LOl--you poor thing--
Silly, silly people. I still just chuck it all in together... still never had a problem. Cold wash.

You can do that if everything's wash n wear and escape without doing harm to anything. I only use bleach once in a great while on T shirts or tops and sport socks that are getting dingy looking. They've improved the laundry soaps to the extent where you rarely need to use bleach any more.
When I was a kid, I remember my mother sending the whites out to be washed, bleached and ironed, which included sheets, pillow cases and doilys--that was back in the sixties. Lol
