Working, but so boring.
For some of us it's nice to build needles stuff instead of using a better (but boring) solution ;)
I like the needles stuff, you like the mechanical 'easy' solution
I was wondering what was going on in their life that the alert sound from the washer and dryer weren't sufficient for the purpose. My GE dryer sings a happy "laundry's dry" song when it's finished.
You're right though, this way is more fun.
Laundry machines are not always positioned where they will be easily heard.
A big house, with a separate room for laundry machine, I guess. Or maybe it's in the basement.
Mine's in my basement and I hear it fine. I'm sure plenty of people on this site have bigger houses than mine though.
I wear noise cancelling headphones and can’t hear anything.
