Dancing on the Edge

And for a mere $132.39....

I'm back in business! The clean clothes business, that is. Thank goodness...I think the pile of clothes in the garage from the weekend at the coast were starting to ferment. :)

I called first thing this morning to find out which two hour time slot we were in for the repair guy and they said "Between 3 and 5PM." Yikes! I'm not sure how we won that lottery place since I called first thing Thursday morning to schedule (which has always been a same-day schedule thing the two times when I called before for the dryer). But..what could I do?

At 4:50pm, the door bell rang. Talk about cutting it close. I was actually beginning to think they weren't coming. But he did indeed arrive and he did indeed fix the washer! A strut had broken (we have a front loader) and was easily fixed. He was here and gone in less than 30 minutes.

The part itself cost only $32.36. Labor was $90.00 (OUCH!) and tax; $10.003. Definitely a figure I could live with considering I was bracing hard for a much, much heftier number. :)

I am now on my second load. With only about four more to go. :)
