Post I got myself 2 washboards
Thought I would post this seperate...

I go out to do the yard sales yesterday and low and behold I came across 2 wash boards...

One is very small looks like it would be for socks and small personal items and the other one is meduim in size...

I will try and get a couple pics up of them

I guess i was just surprosed to fins such and antique up here in goomerville

I don’t think it’s a matter of “is it coming.” I think that it’s already here, it’s just a matter of perspective. From one perspective, our frog friends are telling us that we should be grateful that the “spa” is hot and luxurious. From the cook’s perspective… another 10 minutes and we’ll be dinner.

now you just have to find a wringer.

the roller style that you often see on the side of car washes is ideal.

don't forget a heavy tub to heat the water in.

BTW these work well for socks and smaller items

Srsly, we have one of those 'wonder washers', which worked well until i knocked it over when it was full of water and broke it. We now have a backup system, a 5 gallon bucket, a lid with a hole in the center, and a plunger.
We also have a mop bucket with a wringer, but haven't used it yet.

we use the same type mop bucket for wringing and one of those huge round laundry tub things with the rope handles that resemble a water trough for washing..

being this is our primary method of washing clothes and not a fall back method its just not practical to use a 5 gallon bucket,but as i said before, the plunger does work great..
