Before he even gets to that, why not figure out what the load from the

Well, yeah, that should be plan A. Heck, shouldn't even have to calculate --
exercise while running the washer and dryer, and if the breaker trips, then move
onto plan B (with the cheapest plan B being "don't run the treadmill while doing
the laundry"). If you just gotta run the treadie while doing the laundry,

Better yet, Harry, with a few pullies and drive belts, and the removal
of the access panel at the rear of washer, you could connect the
treadmill to the washer.

For normal loads, Jack would run at 6 to 8 miles an hour, and for
lingerie and other delicates he would walk at about 2 miles and hour.

With a mirror on the inside of the washer lid, Jack could get visual
feedback on how the laundry was doing.

He wouldn't need any electricity to run either the dryer or the
treadmill.

then a 50' high-capacity outdoor extension cord isn't all that expensive.
