I had been running alerts on my Craigslist Android app for a decent washer and dryer for my apartment. Up until now, I had been using the communal laundry room, which was a pain and I had to keep getting quarters from the bank. So this Maytag Atlantis washer and dryer set popped up on CL for $100 and happened to be across the parking lot of my apartment complex. Talk about convenient, I just happened to have the right 4 prong plug for the dryer, and it even came with a free hand truck to move the things. Dave came over with some forearm forklifts and we were able to get the machines up in my my laundry room without too much difficulty.
Of course, nothing is easy. I had decided to buy new braided steel water lines just to be safe. Unfortunately, the stupid washer was not designed for any tool clearance to unscrew the old lines. On top of the that, the hot water intake was cross-threaded. Once we got that figured out and hooked up, the hot water spigot in the laundry room was so corroded it started leaking all over the place. Luckily that was just a call to apartment maintenance and all was good again.
