Wash Day

Wash Day

Whew!  Today was wash-day and I am thoroughly whooped!

Let me just say, I have a new found respect for my Amish relatives who go to even more work to hand work their wash machines.  

Step 1: Haul water from the spicket to the wash basin

1 Basin = 4 Buckets = 2 Trips Upstairs

Step 2:  Fill Wash Basin (Water + Detergent: Jasmine & Rose mmmh)

Step 3: Put 1st Load of Laundry in and turn on the spinner

Thank-you Jesus it spins by electricity 

Step 4: Fill Rinse Basin

= Make 2 more trips to the spicket for water

Step 5: Spin the water out of the washed clothes

(This is electric too!) 

Step 6: Put the spinned clothes in the rinse water and spin again!

Step 7: Take rinsed clothes out and put in spinner again to ring the last water out

Step 8:  Hang Clothes Out

mmh clean clothes in the sunshine!

Step 9: Empty Water from Basins

= 4 Trips to the lawn to dump buckets of water

REPEAT

for as many loads as you have

:)

Ha ha!  This is a really great workout and quite pleasant on a sunny day! :)

It's quite a lot more work than my machine at home though, 

even the 50cents I had to pay at Teen Mania ;)

Happy Wash Day!
