Greetings to you all. I am new and was wondering how clothes are washed here. I'm from a future time it seems and don't understand all of these archaic processes.

With that said, would someone care to explain the heated vents which seem to populate the upstairs rooms? I was under the impression such things didn't exist in this time period.
