I was telling becky the other day about washing clothes and she thought it was so funny, so I decided maybe others would too. If you do not know what a twin tub is, be thankful, I didn't either. We had a normal old washing machine at first and it had issues but was fairly normal, the water went into it very slow so I would have to bucket water in if I wanted it to fill up in less then a hour. However, a few weeks ago it broke and now we have a twin tub. So to wash clothes in a twin tub you fill up one side and put your soap in and set it to wash for however long, fifteen min. is the max. When done you drain the water and then either fill it back up or I just turn the water back on and rinse the clothes under it. Most the time I stop it from draining so the water I rinse with I can use to wash the next load. After I rinse each item it goes into the second small tub, which is less then half the size. In there it spins for a few minutes and then I can take it out. Since the spin tub is only half the size I can only do at most half the load at a time. It is kind of funny and I really don't mind, the machine is not very tall so I have taught Ayden how to rinse them and get the in the spin tub, so thankfully I can get her to help me some. It really isn't bad and I don't mind, it is only hard when I get behind, because a load in the twin tub is not as big as a regular machine.
Anyway, just one more thing to be thankful for back home!!!
As long as I get a load or two done in the morning and hung out then I can stay caught up and things are good.
One good thing about the twin tub is that it saves water since I can use the same water I rinse with to wash the next load. Always need to look for the positive, and at least I do not have to wash by hand!!!
