    I do laundry twice a year, even if it does not need to be done.

    No, I get four showers per year and they cost $6.00 each and they are on a timer (10 minutes). And I get a shower this coming Thursday.

    As far as hand clothes washing goes, I/we do a lot of things "The old way" just to see how it was and what our mothers, fathers, and grand parents had to go thru, just doing everyday tasks.

    We have it so much easier, but it's still good to know the old ways.........
    That's a beautiful place. Yea, I've done it by hand enough to know that if I ever were to have to do it, a ringer at least would be needed. It kills my hands to try to wring out jeans. My hands are just too small.
    Why do I live in Alaska? Because I can.

    I'm thinking one of these will do as a back up and to prewash clothes that are too dirty for the washing machine.
    better than a plunger and good small and light for extended camping trips.



    I'm with the rest of you, we've spent a small fortune so that our hi efficiency washing machine can be used, nothing like a happy wife Guests can not see images in the messages. Please register in the forum.
