Diamonds Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 I need help... First, the easy one. What kind of washer and dryer do i need to buy? I see the two electical plugs... but there is some other line-in on the floor by the the ducting... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/s15driftking/Picture080-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/s15driftking/Picture082-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/s15driftking/Picture081.jpg Second, the hot tub is just exact size as the hole in the deck it sits in... I need some "wiggle room" so that when I refinish the tub's wood panels i can remove them. Currently this panel is stuck because it is pushed up against the deck panels. THE QUESTION - Notice the overhang of the deck.. i think i can cut them allowing the panel to come out of there. Only problem is what kind of saw can i use since i will only have about an inch to work with.... my opinion... sawzall will look to messy plus its have to be at an angle. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/s15driftking/utlines.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/s15driftking/Picture078-2.jpg thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 First pic, you have both 220v and gas, so you can go with a gas or electric dryer. Second, pull those boards (don't try cutting them while attached), and if you still want to trim them down, use a circular saw. I personally wouldn't cut them - a power wash and re-stain is in order though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, and keep in mind that's the older 3 pin 220 plug if you get an electric dryer, you'll need to get the matching plug end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 If you wanted to cut those boards chould you screw a peice of 1 in flat stock to the side to be cut then use a wood blade (whoulf follow the steel guide rather than cut it). But I think a good high psi poser wash and paint whould do all you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 normal plugs are 120v, the big plugs are 240v. there is no 220v also joe is correct you can pretty much get any washer/dryer you want with the way your house is set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evan9381 Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 yep. the plug you go to lowes and find a matching plug, and the wires come from the other end and you attach to your dryer. just buy an electric dryer that fits in the space. the circular tube is for your dryer vent. you get a silver flex tube, maybe $5. it comes all scrunched up, but will expand to like 8'. attaches at each end with worm clips o/t - weren't you the one talking about building a house or am i thinking of someone else? if you still want an estimate for the wood floors, my buddy is still interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evan your house would most certainly read 120/240 or close to it on a digital meter. Its been like that around here since probably early 80's. go stick a DVM into the wall and tell me what it says then you'll understand. After Hurricane Katrina I went to Gulfport Mississippi and re-wired entire neighborhoods for almost 6 months. I have personally read on my Fluke-87 digital meter between 109-112/218-222. I understand that most of the US is now 120/240 but there are parts of the country that keep on keeping on old school. You can still purchase items with the specs plate reading 110/220.
