After being a general catch all for just about everything. I have at last started to get the Wash Porch arranged how I want it.  I still have some washing items I want to buy for the overall display

The picture on the left shows how the Wash Porch had became a catch all room from old family pictures to tools I use when working on the house. It is even act as a storage room for my shipping too. I still have to get the old family pictures sorted and divided between my brothers and sisters. I have started to put it back to how it would have looked as a wash porch. One of the old folding washing benches with a hand cranked wringer now decorates the porch complete with copper boiler and a old wicker basket

An  old Maytag washer and an original style gas engine that I have restored them and got the old engine running fine

Items sold on Ebay are ready to ship in the left hand picture. I will still use the Wash Porch for this but hope to some day move that basement. I was able to find a old wooden ironing board built in a local town and some sad irons.

My sad iron collection some of the metal handled irons I am using as door stops like they use to in the old days. I keep my spare lamps and lamp parts on the shelf till I need them or want to use them

I keep my canning equipment back here and some of my empty jars. I hope to find a old wicker picnic basket to go with the old picnic blanket I have.

My old hand crank ice freezers. The one is a 4 quart one I have used it for a couple of years now. The wood one I just got this winter on a auction and it is a 6 quart model. I will scrub it up really good and use it when I make ice cream for big family get together. I want to try rocky road ice cream or strawberry sherbet. I have made orange sherbet and it was pretty good. The recipes need work on I found them on the internet. The fun part about is making them your own by changing them to your taste.
