Never realized I was so talented!

[Tryharder62]

Seems I'm the only person in my household that knows how to unload and load the dishwasher!!!!

 

[silver gurl]

Oh yes, me too! Along with laundry, cleaning of floors and bathrooms. Add in, all errands. I can also multi task.

 

[Tryharder62]

No auto dishwasher is a sacrifice you make to live off grid....
Besides I hear the new ones work terrible.

How do you live off grid? Do you have a "Tiny House" in the woods? When I am stressed I always tell my husband I am ready for a cabin in the woods. My only problem is he is a semi-hoarder and I am tired of "stuff". I love watching those shows about tiny houses.

House size has nothing to do with being off grid.

We just live at a cottage at a remote lake, and the electrical poles end 4 miles or so before it. I wasn't paying for 4 miles of poles...and then get a bill every month...

I don't know why I associate house size with being off the grid. Sounds amazing Fuzzy! (So no curling irons huh....or lamps.....or microwaves...)

You need to be introduced to a guy called MartyT an N.Zedder who posts on Youtube. He took a scrapped washing machine and some second hand irrigation pipe and turned it into a mini power station for his house - also in the woods miles from the grid.

Here Ya go.

What surprised me was that only a very modest flow of water was required, 5L/sec. He later upgraded his output - when he acquired a partner

I haven't had a dishwasher in 10, maybe 12 years. Was in a home built in about 1918, then a trailer on an acre out in the country, then a company house built in 1962, then a shack built in 1949, and who knows when this place was built, much less converted to a dwelling.

I don't miss it. The takes no time at all to do in by hand if you clean as you go.

Is this some sort of code language?

 

[dolf]

I'm the only one who has figured out laundry. But that's ok, because I balance it by never cooking dinner.

 

[Ziggins]

I have a dishwasher, but I haven't used it in a few years. I need clean dishes before I have enough dirty dishes for a full load. I may remove it and modify the space.

 

[Liar]

Dishwashers are the bee's knees. I'll even do laundry by hand before I do dishes.

Are you implying that someone else knows how
to load an unload the washer and dryer?

I had one, but I took it out when I remodeled the kitchen.
It just took up too much space in a too small kitchen.



:shrug:

Oh my gosh! You recognized there was a code. You are one of us. The second clue involves caramel m&m's. It can't be regular or almond. I'm not able to tell you more or I would have to kill you.

True story...you just can't make this stuff up. So I have been married 32 years. I did the laundry for 27 of them. One day my husband came home. I had just about 3 minutes left on the dryer and I was leaning over it reading a book while I waited. I had been doing things upstairs and I didn't want to come back down. He got all huffy and started loading the washer. He kind of reorganized the laundry room and kept putting in loads when he got home. He's been doing the laundry ever since.

A couple years after that I found out from my son that he took over the laundry to show me that I could multi-task and I didn't have to waste time waiting for the laundry to finish. Of course I know that, but no need to tell him.

Actually we have all those, plus an electric fridge,washer, propane dryer, propane hot water tank, etc etc. Just when I redid the kitchen last year, I asked the wife if she wanted a dishwasher. She said no, the other two we own, ( I have more than one residence) are both crap, so we didn't put one in here.
