90 degree stairs suck though... I have an appliance dolly that I had to abandon halfway up the stairs cause I couldn't rotate it on the landing. I thought I was going to have to move the washing machine out of the laundry room to fit the dryer first, but taking laundry room door off the hinges wound up be significantly easier. Now I get to go back to the office all sweaty and nasty

Dude, you need a darker colour carpet on those stairs!

I installed a 220 outlet in my house when going from a gas to an electric dryer. Man was that a little scary!

Also, why have that equipment up stairs? I guess it's more convenient, but not when something breaks and you have to replace it!

I can't have a two-story house though, so I won't have to worry about that ever.

Laundry upstairs is fantastic. I'd rather deal with it once every so often, than have to drag the laundry up and down the stairs on a regular basis. Plus, if it was really a big deal to exchange them, I could have had free delivery, installation and removal of the old dryer - it just would have been more inconvenient to have to meet them on their schedule. Luckily, my dad is out of town, so I was able to borrow his Rav4 to get the dryer home. I've already rerun the laundry that got interrupted last night and transferred it to the new dryer

Any pics JAR posts are filtered here at work.

So I'm going to assume he carried the dryer on his back the rest of the way up the stairs.

I'm not doing anything to that carpet until we replace all of the upstairs flooring. I plan to do wood plank on the stairs and upstairs hallway if we stay in the house for a while. If we decide to move sometime in the next few years, I'll just do the cheap $99 carpet install right before we have to show.

I guess that's true.

Here I am thinking that if this happened I would actually do any of the work myself.

I'm a weak bitch (and lazy). I'll have their guys do it.

Here are the stairway photos. Not sure why the forum decided to rotate them... that's not how I uploaded them

Nah, I just pushed it up the last few stairs from below. Thankfully, a dryer is pretty light for a household appliance

woo, mr. jar has luckygoldstartstupidtunes as well.

nice.

so you installed it yourself?

i just let the installers do it for me since they came to take away the old units.

Haboob · 05-20-2013, 01:42 PM

My neck hurts from viewing those.

Wait... this isn't the complaint thread.

At least it wasn't the washer. I couldn't imagine having to deal with a flood.

your dog is asking, can i play with the buttons when you're done?

Haboob · 05-20-2013, 01:43 PM

Speaking of the old unit...

Take that out to the range/desert and use it for target practice. Maybe even put a little tannerite in there and make it go BOOM! (Just stand waaaayyyy far away from it)

Yup

And yes, installed it myself. Too much hassle to try to coordinate delivery. As long as everything goes right and works properly, I very much enjoy doing things like this myself

yah, you see, the plan was, last year i wanted to replace all the major appliances so that i dont have to deal with crap. the luckygoldstartupidtunes are doing great, but then that pos maytag...

broke only after 6months use. was new and not a cheapo either. was a failed plan.

after that, i decided maybe i should just wait till the dishwasher dies...

No she's asking, "Daddy, can I have a treat since I was so good and stayed out of your way while you worked?" My response:

If I had a car to haul it out there maybe... I'm gonna just leave it on the front curb and post a craigslist ad to come pick it up. I can pretty much guarantee it'll be gone within an hour or two of posting.
