Jerry Strikes Again

I want to replace my washing machine with a washer-dryer, so I have more space in the garage by selling the tumble-dryer there, but it’s not as easy as it looks.

Jerry Strikes Again

As you can see it looks a bit tight. Note the floral monstrosity on the right.  It’s an ironing board.  Real men like me, don’t iron! We pay someone to do it, or buy a new shirt, we can wear out of the packet!

Note how the plumbing seems to have been bent around the washing mashing and the crude stand, that it is supported on. Here’s some detail.

Crazy Pipework

If you think this is bad, then the outlet pipe is a masterpiece of bodging!

A Masterpiece Of Bodging!

I dread to think what you would have to do if the pump above the washing machine failed and had to be changed.

As it is, I think I’ll have to sort this mess out before I change the washing machine for a washer-dryer.  I’ll also need to change the crude stand that holds up the machine.

I also am getting fed up with moving wet washing through two doors from the hall cupboard into the garage to get it dry. currently, if there’s a car in the garage, I can’t really use the tumbler-dryer, as the door can’t be opened.

I can’t abide bad design and workmanship.
