Hey, my great great grandparents had a wood dishwasher. This was
before electricity so it was powered by a coal fire and steam.

I've got harvest gold! I like it. I don't think the stove will ever
break, but if the refrigerator breaks, I'll have to get a new stove,
and change the color of the dishwasher. And I usually forget the
range hood. Maybe I can just take that out and paint it. Heck, I'll
paint the stove too.
In Brooklyn NY, I found a clothes washer in the trash, and the white
paint was chipped or rusty, and I used white epoxee spray paint**, and
it was as if it had been painted at the factory. It was a beautiful
matching finish, and it didn't wear or chip in the 5 years I had the
thing. I really couldn't believe how nice it was.

outside.
