Setting the dryer on top of the washer. Vertical clearance was a little tight. |
The washer and dryer were supposed to show up with a stacking kit that would include whatever bits are needed to secure the dryer to the top of the washer. You don't want it walking around up there. The kit didn't show, so off to Lowes we go to pick up a kit. They have three different ones, all in brown cardboard boxes and all costing about $60 each. We do some checking and pick one and off we go.
Holes in bracket do not align |
Once the stacked washer and dryer are all connected to the outlets in the wall, they need to slide into their hole in the wall. The dryer doesn't weigh much but the two of them together are kind of hefty and they don't want to slide. We cut a piece of cardboard to go under the washer's feet. That allowed us to to slide it into position. Don't know how we will get that cardboard out.
So all the new appliances and installed and working. The kitchen cabinets still need some shelves and doors installed. It's taken us nearly a year and a half and bucket of money to get this far, but the end of phase one is in sight.
Wet the cardboard and dig out as much mush as you can reach. heh heh heh
