There's a ritual that is performed when we do our laundry. As with the water conservation theme, we do collect the laundry water from the washing machine and use it to wash the toilet floors. We got a new machine as our previous one was making a little noise when it starts the spin cycle. But that little fellow has been with us for about 7 /8 years so I guess it was time for it to go to Washing Machine Haven.
The run off hose was a little short to reach the drainage pipe so we added an extension. To get the water into the pails takes timing and skill. It's like a well-oiled Formula One Pit-Stop. The missus has this uncanny ability to tell when the spin cycle would start and will always call me once it is time. In all our married years she has yet to get it wrong.
Once the call comes in that the spin cycle is about to start. We get ready, The 2 pails are placed side by side, the bigger one always goes first. Once the run off starts, let it flow for a few seconds, then up goes the pipe into the big pail, once full, the tricky switch to the small pail is next. When that is filled it's back into the drainage pipe. All the while you got to keep your eye on the connecting pipe to ensure that there is no spillage.
All this done in 56.32 secs, well not exactly an F1 pit-stop timing but you get the idea :)
