Getting the casa ready for rental tenants

We have rental tenants coming to stay in the casa (the older park model next to our RV lot) on 12/1, so we need to finish up tasks there so it is ready for their arrival. 

Before we went to Mexico, we had picked up a free washer and dryer from a fellow resident in Venture Out and left them on the patio until we returned. 

We wanted to get rid of the existing units -- we would have to pay a fee to put them into the community dumpster, so we decided to see if we could "re-home" them (i.e. give them away to someone).

I took pictures of the washer... 

 and of the dryer:

I put them on Freecycle.org to give away, but after posting them, I looked at the amount of activity on the site, and there weren't many items listed.

Carl suggested I try Facebook Marketplace, so I did -- wow, immediately lots of people wanting them. I picked the first guy who responded, and within a couple of hours, he was there picking them up. It seems that he gets the units to use for parts -- I would have preferred that they go to someone who needed a washer and dryer, but... they both had their issues (the washer control knob would not pull out so when you wanted to start a cycle, you had to turn it with your fingers and it would start and stop cycles as you turned it; and the dryer made a noise like it had tennis shoes in it when it tumbled -- the previous owners of the casa said it had made that noise since they purchased that park model 10 years previously (the washer and dryer came with the park model when they bought it), and it did not seem to hinder the drying capability). We didn't want a renting tenant to be disappointed with not-quite-working-right washer and dryer.

After we got the old units out of the shed / laundry room, we moved the washer and dryer from the other VO resident into the shed. The washer is hooked up, but we need a part (dryer adapter cord) before we can get it finished. We hope to have it all finished before the tenants arrive!
