From Dry to Wet

We’ve had a bit of a dilemma with our washing machine. Mum decided that we needed a new one. The old one still worked and got the job done but as it got older it also got louder and rattled more as it entered its final spin cycle. Mum decided to wait for the New Year sales but I convinced her that she might be able to find a good deal in the Black Friday sales that weekend. She found one that she liked in the shop but she also went for a browse in our local electrical store and found that they could install it for less and take away the old one, and it would still be cheaper than the one in the shop; even with my discount. But on the week that we were ready to have it installed, it snowed. Although the ice didn’t stop the delivery, there was still a lot of slush about which got trodden into the kitchen floor as they tried to install it. The problem they had was that the copper feeder pipe was slightly corroded; and they didn’t want to touch it and cause further damage. So the new washing machine went into the garage alongside the old one while we waited for a plumber that they recommended to call round.
