ocelotMoving time in Davis is just crazy.
We just got a sink-hookup washing machine that someone left out by the dumpster. We're running a load now, and it appears to work. At first we didn't think it would hook up to the bathroom sink, but it appears to do so just fine!
If there is any one thing that would make our lives easier, a faucet hookup washing machine is it, as we had no washing machine or washer/dryer hookups, and we've been doing laundry in the tub to avoid the hassle and expense of a laundromat (yes, it is actually less hassle to wash by hand than to go to the laundromat). We were going to get this (the top one) when we had a spare $50, and while that is still probably the morally/environmentally superior option, now we don't have to. Yay :) Still something good to keep in mind if/when we do the boat thing again, though.
Some nice guy saw us looking at it and trying to figure out how to transport it in our bike trailer, and drove it to us in his pickup truck.
It needs a ton of exterior cleaning, but wow, this made my month. We can do laundry at home, with little effort! We can start using cloth diapers more often again! As an added bonus, it should be easy to get it to drain into a bucket so we can use the greywater for watering.
Dumpsters good. Stuff like this makes me feel somewhat less weird about dumpster diving for fun and profit.
