Well, I finally got the washer to drain, so at least I have rinsed curtains instead of soaking curtains. I still don’t quite have clean curtains. I also don’t have a washer, as it was officially diagnosed: dead. Irreparable, but luckily quite replaceable. The new washer comes tomorrow. Any bets on how much dirty laundry we’ll have accumulated by then? Somewhere between 36 and 48 hours without a washer? I shudder to think.
