Oh wow, you know Shara? I haven't seen her in ages; I hope she's doing well.
There's a shutoff valve for the whole house in the crawlspace; if I remember right it's even a regular (outdoor) faucet handle rather than needing a wrench. But the downside is the shutoff is at the absolute opposite end of the crawlspace from the crawlspace entry...
There's also a place by the road it can be turned off; I think that one requires a wrench. I should probably figure out if one of the wrenches in Toolbox 1 (metal/electrical/bike) can do the job or whether I need to buy one.
Turned out no semblance of hoses came with the washer so I went to Lowes and bought some; I spotted the nice ones reinforced with braided wire and sprung the extra 12$ for them since I heard they were less likely to fail.

Thanks for the suggestions!
