white trash porch



I always rather fancied a front porch with a washing machine on it. I did not, however, fancy a front porch with a brand new dryer on it that I cannot install because it is the wrong one.
Sending things back from an island is always rather a problem. I would suck it up, except that I can't install it—it's an electric dryer with a 220 line rather than a propane dryer that uses 110. And $1200 later—more than the dryer itself—the plumber, bummer, is back on the mainland, while the dryer, alas, is not.
At least the dryer matches the new paint job.

No picture of the dryer.

Also, I'd be more than happy to write a letter to the appliance store for screwing up your order. No one messes with MY momma!

I thought AA hooked up propane dryers...

The dryer is on the left in the second picture. It is now also covered in cardboard. No word from the store yet.

Doesn't Alan have a friend who can take care of little problems like this?

You mean, like, off the owner?
