We've been at this for a few months, so some of this will be catch-up, don't get bored or bitchy, just try and keep up. Peace and Love Y'all

Washing Machine

OMG! I forgot to tell you all about our new "Off the Grid" washing machine. It uses nothing but kid power, lol. Thank goodness we finally have water or this would really suck. It works great until you get tired. Ok so here it goes,

#1 put soap and water in bucket, add clothes and use plunger to push into water. Do this for about 4 min. Watch how dirty the water becomes.

#2 Take a heavy duty mop bucket and use the mop squeeze part as a wringer. wring out clothes then put in 2nd bucket for rinse cycle.

#3 Use a clean bucket filled with water and a little fabric softener and rinse clothes, Wring out clothes with mop bucket the best you can.

#4 Hang clothes out to dry.

Sounds easy doesn't it. It is tiring though
