Our appliances must hate us

Perhaps because we kept them stored up for 5 months. Anyways, we got the dryer and washer finally hooked up last night. Yay us! Well, it was actually Pop that saved the day. His tip for using the tape worked perfectly. Too bad when I woke up this morning (Shawn had already left because he was going to get in a round of 9 holes before work), I noticed the washer was pulled out from the wall. Then I noticed a damp bath towel on top of it. Damn Shawn didn't leave me a note though or tell me what happened when he came in to say goodbye this morning. Ugh. I finished feeding Inara her breakfast, and we went outside to look at the trees. That's when I saw a totally went bath towel laid out on our back steps. Shawn finally called to say the washer must have leaked last night because there was a small lake in our laundry room this morning. I swear our appliances hate us. The ones that came with the house work great. It's the ones we brought in with us that are giving us the most trouble. Pop, please come save us! Can't wait for you to get here in Sept. so you can check all our pipes, tubes, hook-ups to make sure everything is done correctly. Hang in there, Shawn. We will not let these appliances get the best of us!
