Found this on a local online yard sale site, an apartment size wringer washer. The motor wasn't working, but Bill got it running again. It is about 1 1/2 feet square by three feet tall total. There is no agitator, just a fan in the back of the tub to stir the water up, and a pump to run the water out. Or you can just drop the hose down to drain it. We have a hot water faucet outside, but it was a lot of work to wash wool out there in buckets. Now I can just roll this out there, plug in and fill with the hose. We just need some warm,dry weather to try it out.

What a wonderful find to make wool washing easier! Great, too, to have hot water available outside.
Years ago I found one of those old double metal sinks on legs, but would have to still haul water. So I'm still doing the bucket brigade on the porch.
