    They could not snake the problem.....might be a frozen line where the water drains from the washer.......clothes are in the washer, front loader, so until all the water is out you can't open the door..........

    I hate everything right now, snow, winter, repair men, front loading washers, but most of all I hate that my clothes are  gonna get moldy, and the washer is going to stink, by the time the f/n ice melts in the f/n pipe............if I had a wash tube this would be a non issue......well it might, but at least eventually the water would slowly go down........with the drain running directly into the wall the water gushes back at me when it hits the ice jam.......I could pull the hose out of the pipe, no big deal, if it was not behind the washer, and you can't fit a bucket  anywhere to let the water run into.................f/n winter........

    Oh Ducky what a problem u'r having and there's nothing u can do--it's supposed to warm up a little in a couple of days, I hope that helps. Geeze who's throwing u to the wolves? U know I certainly wouldn't want to be close to one at dinnertime, but they are so beautiful to look at and very loyal to each other, keeping one mate for life. Kind of sweet.

    i've driven the alcan twice from anchorage to south of olympia and loved it both times.  after 30+ years in alaska, we moved "outside" in 1998.  if someone would provide a good travel car, i'd be glad to drive to anchorage for a land-based personalized tour of alaska during the summer.  i'm done with dark winters....  just sayin....

    sweet ducky made the list,it's on the bonefire thread.

    No one sent me a pm

    Sooo it looks like ducky has the job to get the few she left out.

    Sorry ur havin trouble with the washing machine

    Where is ur pilot? 

    Don't worry it's over the freezing mark for a few days

    Once the list is complete we can move on to dates

    Remember we need winter clothes for Alaska

    And summer clothes for PR.

    Problem was an ice jam in the trap where the washer discharges the water from inside the washer out to the main line........but the water that laid in the trap froze, blocking the water from being able to get through......my son came today ...........he is such sweetheart.....the one who did all the construction on this house................ran a wash load through, and the water went down and did not back up all ver the floor..............thank heavens.....hope it stays that way.

    Will be back later.......

    Ducky, good luck catching up on the laundry!  What would we do without wonderful sons?

    I've just found out that I have a gas leak in the valve that operates my new gas logs :( . It's a very small one, but I can't mess around with gas.  So now I have to look into getting that taken care of.  It's always something!

  • duckyb1

    Wow Holl, better have that looked at........can you smell the gas......maybe you should not be in the house.....all it takes is a spark.......just be careful.........

    No smell-- the line's been cut off outside and at the valve.  Calling my plumber in the morning!

    Mary, that's what started this thread off, we thought of all sorts of things you could do with asparagus!!!! Veggy had wonderful suggestions.And I have just found out you have to eat it raw.

    so now we r goin to NJ????

    What did I miss?

    And I don't even own a swimsuit

    Wait what happened to Alaska?

  • wren44

    If you don't like snow and cold, don't go to Alaska until summer. Look out your window after a snowstorm; that's what you'll see. It's chilly there even in the summer, except for Fairbanks which gets really really hot. Puerto Rico would be nice and warm, pretty, and a big change from where you live. Don't worry about swimsuit unless you like to swim. Get a sundress there and wear it to the beach.

    I vote for warm if we're going soon. We have six more weeks of winter according to the groundhog.
