Rig Projects...Like peeling an onion!

Have you ever noticed how a simple project on your Rig has a way of tuning into anything but simple??? Our rig came from the factory, " Washer Dryer Ready" so you would think... Go buy and washer and dryer and set it in place and hook it up... Right??? Well not exactly... Not even close... This has turned into a four week project, (so far) and the last dryer I ordered will not be here until February 2. This set makes the 3rd set I have ordered and received. The first two just would not fit exactly right. So I have had to reconfigure the washer hookups, and relocate them 2 inches toward the rear of the laundry closet and move the water hook ups from the right hand side to the rear of the closet. So far I have moved the washer into and out of the closet 7 times to get the perfect location, allowing the doors to be reinstalled on the closet. We washed 4 loads of laundry last night and everything worked flawlessly!! The dryer is the next part of the project... This dryer will actually "hang" on the wall! This is a very interesting design. I still don't know if I am strong enough to lift and set it into the mounting system... I have started taking extra vitamins and am in a rigorous training program to get into better shape for this project... Hope it works!!

More later and will post some photos of the project...
