Washing Machine

 The newest addition to the cabin is the small washing machine.  It is stored in the main level bathtub and can be used to wash the sheets, clothing or small batches of towels.  It cannot hook up to the tap, but hose can be held to add water during the was or spin/rinse.  (Left side is for washing, and the other is for rinsing and spinning.) 

It would be great if your brought your own detergent with you if you plan on washing as there is only a small amount left there.  Towels and sheets need to be left clean and ready for the next family to come. 

 INSTRUCTIONS:

Add small load of clothing or linen into the left tub.  Do not over fill or it will not be able to agitate.  Use a bucket to fill the tub with water or hook up the hose to the left input on top and hold hose manually under a small stream of water until full (more time consuming).  I didn't see a fill line inside the tub, but I filled about 4-6 inches from the top.

The first knob will start the wash.  The second knob should be on standard.  If you put it on drain, it will drain this tub.  The drain hose will be on your left hand, hooked onto the side of the machine.  Unhook and let it fall to the bottom of the bathtub, as it will be needed there for the rinse and drain and to later drain the wash tub.

Once washed, moved laundry to the right tub and put the removable plastic disk on top to keep the fabric from spinning out and getting stuck between tub and walls of machine.

Spin.

Rinse with hose moved to the right input or with a bucket or two of water.  I did both.

Spin out as much water as possible.  Water will be expelled from the drain hose and spinner will get faster with less water in the clothing.

Hang to dry;  hopefully on a clothes line but could use railing.

You can wash and rinse a load at the same time, but can only do two loads before a cool down time will be needed.

Turn middle dial to drain to remove water from the left or washing tub.

When finished wipe everything clean and replace the drain hose just in case someone moves it out of the bathtub.  It could flood if the hose isn't hooked back up to avoid a gravity drain on the bathroom floor.

4-Wheelers

The keys are usually hung behind the stairs.

Currently the green works well, the other has a low battery and may need to be charged.  The extension cord is in the box with the 4-wheelers and the battery charger is in the bottom drawer inside the entry hall closet.  The extension cord can be plugged in the light in entry hall closet.

To get to the battery locate the panel behind the seat.  It should lift easily because the screws are missing and it just snaps into place.  

Be sure and gas up before you leave.  If you empty a gas can, be sure and take it down the mountain, refill it and leave with Dorothy if you can't get it back up the mountain.

Shuffleboard

 The object of the game is to score more points than your opponent by either knocking his pucks off or by sliding your pucks past his into a higher score zone.

A typical game (partners or singles) is played to 15 points

Let's Begin:

A coin toss determines who shoots first and who gets the hammer. The winner normally takes the hammer and loser picks the color of
puck she will shoot.

Player A begins by shooting one of his colored pucks. Player B shoots the other color. Players then rotate shots until all eight pucks have been shot. If a puck doesn't cross the foul line closest to the player shooting, it must be removed and the shot forfeited.

After all eight pucks have been shot, the players determine who scored by counting only the pucks closest to the end of the table and are the same color. If a player has more than one puck closer to the end of the table then his opponent may also count those pucks.
Remember, only one color can sore per frame. A puck must be completely inside the score zone to receive the points in that zone.

The team or player that scores in that frame must shoot first in the next frame. This process is repeated until one team or player reaches 15 points.

Before play, lightly sprinkle shuffleboard surface with granules to allow pucks to freely slide.  It is probably under the bench, in Harry Potter's Hallow or in the furnace closet.  There may already be enough on the board when you arrive, and you probably won't need to add any.
