More work on the shopping list

After dropping off the last of the too-large clothes at the consignment shop, doing some Web shopping, getting a haircut, going to Weight Watchers, and returning home for lunch and more Web shopping, I headed out to Lowes. My idea was to look primarily at washers and dryers, browse (cheap!) kitchen sinks, and maybe look at refrigerators.

I ended up looking at a lot more. Didn't reach any conclusions, but I've gained a lot more knowledge and I think with a little more Web work, and maybe one more store visit somewhere, I'll nail down most of the appliances. So, some semi-random Bits of Knowledge on the subject of appliances:

So, I'm at the Confusion stage. The desk is littered with stacks of printouts on all of the above, and most things need more research, or more pondering, or another visit to see the item in a store. But I'm making progress.
