What a mess. Don't know, when we get it done it may be enough to turn into the insurance.
The washer had been acting up and not wanting to drain. Then it started working again so I did several loads of laundry. Evidently they all drained into the basement. All over boxes of stuff I had not unpacked from the move yet. I know several boxes of books were ruined, an antique table of mine got it pretty bad and other boxes as well. 2 weeks ago water came down on my computer downstairs.
Needless to say, that washer has washed its last. DH is on nights, so it may be a week before I can get a new one.
We still have not pulled out the washer to see what happened. The hoses are all still intact, so the trouble is somewhere inside the washer. But, its at least 12 years old, so time for a new one.
I guess I should have kept my washer. It was a front loading big one. But, at the time we thought it was too heavy to move. Oh well.
I applied for a job online. My mother in law used to do it. Its for a company that does the store demo's. I had started the app. process a year ago and never finished it because no stores around me were listed. Now, I see where some of our local stores are using the company to do demos, so I finished the process. It is one of those deals where you check the webpage and sign yourself up if you see any in your area. Promo's are 5 hours, and they pay $85. If there is any leftover product, you get to keep it. And, if you use your own crockpot and table they pay you more.

The pay on the PT job sounds great. I hope it works out!

NONE of the houses that my husband builds have the washer in the garage!

I'm so paranoid about that possiblity (it happened to my sister), that i try to remember to turn the water supply off after each use of the washer.
