[Update: The floors are done and access to the basement at 223 has been restored. The new washers will be installed on Thursday and, God willing, should be ready to go on Friday. The new smart-card machines will accept $5, $10, and $20 bills. Cards will be available through the management office (2N). The first one is free and additional cards are available at cost for $5. Machines will operate at $1 per load. ]As you may have surmised from the racket emanating from the basement in 223, (and the memo slipped under your door) the leprotic concrete floor is being renovated.
The good news is that the over-hall presented a good opportunity to swap out the two stalwart coin-operated laundry machines with three modern front-loading washers and dryers (with smart card technology). The bad news is that, until March 20th, we laundry procrastinators in 223 will have to trudge over to the laundry room of 231 to do our washing.
In addition, from March 10th to the 14th, the garbage chute and basement doors will be locked so trash will disposed of in covered garbage cans placed under the stairs in the lobby.
Brace yourselves, 231! You're next!
Does anyone feel it would be useful to keep one of the older machines for items like rugs, pet beds, furry items, shoes etc?
ReplyDeleteOften the lints on these items do not get washed away with the last rinse and tend to stick on the wall of the washers and transferred to the next person load...has anyone else noticed this? Would there be room enough?
LLLove the snowman!
Are the prices staying the same? Those card machines are a pain in the a$$.
ReplyDeleteIt will go up to $1 per load which is still a pretty decent deal -- and no more desperate rummaging through all you pockets and sofa cushions for quarters!
