Does a Doddy house stand for what I think it does? No way you had that old washer! You’re not that old! And your kids certainly aren’t
It’s from the German, dawdi haus.
Dawdi Haus – a small house or rooms separate from the main house where a grandparent or grandparents live out their retirement. dawg – day. dat – dad (alternate spellings: daed, daadi)
Yes! I had an old Maytag wringer washer - looked just like that. Square more than round lol. I used it for years. I got an automatic washing machine when the kids went to high school.
I never used disposable diapers - with that old washing machine I could set it on wash and let those diapers swish around for an hour if I wanted (or forgot lol). Then out to the sunshine on the clothes line. They were the whitest diapers around. They were also the only ones around.
My pop used to have a 2 holer in Norway, this one is the luxury model
slight slide...
when i was 4 years old, i put my hand in a wringer like that.
Thank heavens a lady came around and beat the thing apart.
It would have torn my arm off, I think.
I was left with a somewhat mangled left hand. Fingers curled, plenty of scar tissue.
No doctor wanted to touch it.
Finally in the mid 2000’s I Had an ortho surgeon who fixed most of it.
I can straighten 3 of my my fingers now (I can finally wear a wedding band on my left hand - woo-hoo!)
