Check This Pair Out!

Check This Pair Out I tell you...
Since we found out that we were moving into a home that is fully furnished.  We started to think of things that we were going to give away, sell or keep.  One of the items that we decided that we were going to sell were our washer and dryer that were a few years old.  Hans' brother bought them from us the day that we moved. 
Coming to the new house and doing laundry was in mine as well as Hans' a step down from our old washer and dryer that we just sold.  The dryer didn't dry very well.  We had to put it through between two to four times to get the clothes dry; which was okay, but still annoying.  The washer was a whole other story... It was washing the clothes just great.  Two laundry times using the washer later... The washer just ate up a new shirt that I got for Christmas from my brother in law, Jens.  Okay, it wasn't just a tiny hole of anything it shredded the whole sleve and then still put some holes in the front and back of the shirt.  I was almost in tears.  My new shirt was not only ruined it looked really cute on me too. : (  I looked through all the other clothes that had been washed and nothing was wrong with them. Of course, this was making me wonder. Has this sort of thing happened before?  If so, why weren't we told that the washer was very hungry?  I emailed the owners and asked them about it.  They haven't had this sort of problem before.  Thinking that this might just be a freak accident I did the wash the next week and YEP you guessed it, there was no freak accident.  It was the same thing again, it ate one of my shirts!  This time it wasn't a christmas present is was an old dingy shirt that I have had since junior high volleyball.  It was a work out shirt.  At this rate there was no question. We needed to buy a washer and dryer. Dryer, because theirs doesn't dry. A washer, because it eats clothes.  Not just any clothes, but my clothes!  Grrrr!!!! 
After talking to the owners we got the okay to take their washer and dryer out (saving it though for them to come back to) and we could get new ones.  I saw an ad for RCWilley and there was a pair of LG washer and dryers on sale for $900.00.  It was to be ours and nothing was going to stop us...........Until we went to get them and they were out! Dang it... we just can't get a break.  We talked to the salesman and he showed us a Frigidair pair that was discounted, because they were a floor model. I mean nothing is wrong with them, people just open and shut them.  SOLD to the couple who's clothes are dwindling as they know it.  We were able to get the pedestals and the stacking kit.  We are not using the stacking kit now, but you never know if we will need it or if we go to sell it and the people will need it. 

See the picture below... Aren't they pretty?
