did 3 weeks wash. not very good day. dried a lot over the stove. just turned lights on & had to pull switch cause the wire in to basement burnt in half & was smoking. good thing we were here & cought it or house would have burned. Feed Kids & got them to bed by candle then Lyle borrowed some tape & we cut wire & fixed it. just got light on when Ivard came at 9: he'd been messing with guys from work.
