When we moved into our new house, we bought a new washer and dryer, and they are both the front-load type. Neither Mommy not Daddy could see themselves spending the $200 a piece on stands for them, so Daddy decided he'd make some! After finding some plans, he got to work and came back from Lowe's on Tuesday with a big pile of wood. I was going to help him assemble them! I knew this meant I'd need my tool box, so I went and got it before we started. He was sure to need me to measure something with my tape measure!
I got to help him use a drill and even a hammer a few times. And when they were all assembled, he let me do a little of the painting too. I was a big help!
They actually turned out pretty nice, and we put the washer and dryer up on them this evening. After one test run of laundry, no problems yet!
