whoo hoo!!

edited...ok you have got to be kidding me, right? the damn thing doesn't work!!! they just hauled and i mean HAULED this horrifically heavy machine upstairs and when they went to turn it on, it is not working!! no power, no nothing. now before you ask we checked the circut, plugged in other appliances and they all worked so it is not the outlet.

they are on the phone with lowes now!

update...they are now removing it and are going to have to bring me another! more news on when...they are not happy. i wouldn't be either!

FINAL UPDATE...!
she is here! and she is working. they just brought me a new one and if my laundry closet wasn't in such disarray, i would take a picture of her. there are all kinds of lights and buttons i have no idea where to start? my other one i just turned a dial and pulled..this one may need a degree! LOL!

aren't you glad you are doing the lugging?

[Alison]

poor donna!! i remember watching the delivery guys lug our beast upstairs when we moved in last year, i wouldn't want to have to re-deliver either.

[Tami]

I just hate it when my week has 2 Mondays in it. Good luck. If you want I am willing to come to your house pick up your dirty clothes and go to the laundry mat for you. Just kidding I live in St. Louis but you can mail them...ha ha

[erin yamabe]

oh, i so feel for you!! i hope this next trip is all positive, from start to end, and they don't have to come back! we'll be sending good thoughts to you from cali!

I think someone is being visited by Mr. Murphy this week (Murphy's Law...I know you knew that, but JUST in case, lol). It's because you're going to the other side of the world. It can't be as easy as just getting ready and going without any hassles you know...nope something like having no clean clothes has to be thrown in just for good measure. I hope they get your other one to you soon. If it makes you feel any better. I bought a new project desk from Pier 1 last week...HUGE ass box and enormous thing to put together...only to flip it over to find the corner was completely crushed on the top. We didn't see it until after we'd nearly broken our back trying to put it together. It's always that way...heavy stuff always causes you the MOST trouble, lol. At least THEY hauled it upstairs and not you!

new zealand and australia...beware

[Dee]

You might not get that underwear washed yet Donna.....LOL

and Torm, what are you saying?? (actually, I would beware me too, aussie accents are so hard to understand, especially in bookstores in the USA)..ROFL

[Kelli Kemmerer]

OOH I bet they were STEAMING (literally)!! It's gotta be hot there!! Are you in panic mode yet, Donna? I would be freaking out if I only had a couple of days before going out of town and had to do laundry for it!!

[Tami]

did you give them a cold drink or anytihng? you better get to the laundry mat to have clean undies!

[Mindy M.]

HIL-AR-IOUS! But, glad you have a working one now. LOL on the needing a degree - our new one came with a huge owner's manual and a DVD of instructions and has all these buttons (no old-fashioned dials) - the thing sounds like an airplane engine spooling up when it starts the spin cycle.

[Bridgette]

We got a fancy one a few years ago...and it came with a DVD you needed to watch in order to run it. LOLOLOL
Happy laundering! :)

[Juli]

At first, my friends didn't believe that I watched my clothes wash. Once they saw a photo of my front-loader then they understood. Pure magic and pleasure. Kudos to Lowes for their quick response.

[Sharon Kile]

What color? Did you go with white?? I am really getting into all those cool colors for the washers and dryers...mmm good..Take a picture we all have dirty laundry.

[Debbie V.]

LOL!!!

[Michelle]

how incredibly FRUSTRATING! well...at least everything seemed to work itself out pretty quickly. now...let's hope that the buttons are eventually easy enough to figure out...otherwise, you might end up some pretty interesting clothing at the end of your ordeal!

Nothing like a new washer machine. Especially with fancy buttons and gadgets. Have fun. And here's to clean panties!!

[deb munn]

Now you will have clean skivvies to bring to AUS and NZ :)
You are going to have SUCH a great time!!!
~deb~

[susan opel]

let the washing begin!

[Pegomh]

I absolutely LOVE my front loader and wish I had gotten it soon (expensive, yes!) I can wash both our clothes in 3 loads and then sheets/rugs etc. It is amazing but they come out almost dry! You will LOVE LOVE LOVE it. It Rocks!

[Sharyn (Torm)]

LOL Dee....donna announced (yesterday?) to New Zealand and Australia that with this new washer she'd be coming in new underwear....so with it looking iffy there for a moment.....well, you know. beware of what she wears, and all.....

i've got warped humor. lol

[Cheryl]

Wow . . . I'm glad it's working now and you have a 'clean start'. Enjoy her!

[Jolene George]

You are going to LOVE IT!!! Honest!! http://jolenegeorge.blogspot.com/

[Brek]

sooo jealous!! I want a front-loader so bad. But alas, I already have a 2-year old washer that works just fine. Those front-loaders sure are pretty to look at, though!

[Vicki Jackson]

ohh Donna I went Hi Tech with my washer over christmas... only had to replace it 3x!! before we finally got one that does its job... but we had to change BRANDS... (still a front loader!) Lowes knew me by first name-- but in the end I too have clean panties!

[mariana]
