Didn’t know that about electricians and dryers. I live in an apartment building, and won’t use the machines in the basement as they aren’t reliable. It takes forever to dry anything as they have two stacked dryers connected through the same vent. It’s easier to just lug the bags down to my car, and get it all done in one visit to the laundromat. Saves me from having to run up and down the stairs too.
Union rules, I think. Electricians are one group, and appliance-repairmen are another, and the guy who comes to clean the lint out of the ducting is another. The ducting guy is in the same group with chimney-cleaners.
I love the laundromat. When a large batch of my family members comes home from camp, I either take all their stuff to the laundromat or send them (if it’s my kids ;-). Beats running ten loads at home.
