We got a washer hose, heavy duty, $20 from Lowe's, dragged the washer away from the wall and screwed them on. Oddly, the dryer had been correctly connected and was ready to go. So there's a load of socks and undies spinning now in the new front loaders. We've even added a page of Bounce just to freshen up the batch. Thank you for your concern.
I am not sure, but I think we just had a tiny earthquake tremor. More later.
