I got the job offer this morning. The whirlwind will start soon..
My tentative separation date here in New Orleans is August 15. Pray for no hurricanes at that time.
I see more wool in my future....
OMG, what have I just done?
And do you use gas or electric dryers???

Congrats Beth! Good luck with the move.
Use an electric dryer, for the same reason you use an electric oven. More stable temperature. Even at the lowest setting, gas dryers just get super hot for a very short period of time.Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler

I plead brain fog - was watching the TdF this morning.

So was thinking to buy a less expensive gas dryer to use now, then buy new once I got up there, if new place doesn't come with one, or I'm in an appartment for a while.Last edited by bmccasland; 07-22-2010 at 11:19 AM. Reason: to explain why I may not want to spend much $$ on a replacement gas dryer

It depends, but I'd guess more commonly electric (really depends on the area, but even when homes have gas, it's still a split where some things are and some things aren't).
Congratulations on the job/move and welcome to the area!!

If the house isn't already set up for both options and you want to switch from what the previous owners had, you'd need a bit of work done either way, since electric dryers run on 220.
We had propane to the water heater and furnace only when we moved in. It didn't cost a lot to run a gas line up to the kitchen.
We didn't shell out for a gas stovetop with electric oven though. If there's a next time, we will. Best of both worlds.Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler
