[quote=Anonymous]We had a roof that leaked. I remember when it rained having to put buckets and pans on the upstairs landing and on the stairs to catch the water. We had a washer that we had to connect to the faucets using hose pipes. Never had a dryer either. We had something called a spin dryer that would rinse out the majority of the water out of the wet clothes before we either hung them in front of the fire on a clothes rack or hung them outside on the clothes lines to dry. My Mom said that the spin dryer was cheaper than a full dryer. My parents also installed in me something that I still do to this day. Every time I leave a room, I switch off the light, even if I'm going back there in a few minutes. Saving on that light bill. :) [/quote]
