Oh, it hardly cost a cent, the drier was only a few feet from the

gas or electric, but when I chose to get a new one, I went with gas.

I'd like a front loader, but I don't know if I'm willing to spend
the extra bucks.

Yeah, the dryer worked okay when I got rid of it, I was just tired of
timing when to do laundry.

I couldn't care less if they match, color or not.
