Restraining my washing machine
April 20th, 2008 | Filed under Personal.My washer likes to try and shake my house down when going into Hyperspin. The kitchen floor is a suspended floor consisting of beams poking out the walls with floorboards on the top. With 30-odd kilos of washing machine bouncing around on top the whole house shudders in a slightly alarming way. In an attempt to dampen the gyrations I went off to Homebase and came back with some concrete slabs.
Two slabs are now under the washer, and four more are outside by my car so I don’t get mud into it. The ones under the washer seem to have made a difference since the pots and pans on my shelves no longer vibrate and rattle. The floor still shakes enough to make eyeballs vibrate though.
It’s a three day week this week. On Thursday all the NUT members go on strike so the school is closed to students, and on Friday it’s an INSET day. I’m not in the NUT so I will be in work, but don’t worry - I won’t be doing anything that would ordinarily be done by an NUT member. Mostly I’ll be sorting out lessons and all the other little things that get put aside during the week.
