Love to see the enthusiasm here...
fixing and rebuilding is my non-paying job in my FL community... "Salvage 1", my golf cart is employed on Tuesdays and Fridays... the trash pick up days, early in the morning, before the trash truck arrive. Never kept count, but over the past 20 years, have probably recycled (saved-fixed-gave away) more than a thousand items that were headed for the landfill. Every toy, sporting good, lawn equipment, musical instrument, kitchen appliance, bike, washer, dryer, radio, TV, phone, computer, printer and piece of furniture... and anything else that is or could be useful, ends up on my workbench. Everything except refrigeration or air conditioning. I currently have about 20 items waiting for a new home...
Currently working on a chain saw, an ancient Pioneer sound set up, two weed wackers, and a remote control Hummer.
The last washer I repaired was a simple belt change, but required a full tear down... In putting it back together, somehow tied down the floating tub into the shipping position
Turned it on to check it out, and all was fine, so with the thanks of my neighbor, left and went home... Five minutes later received a panic call... When the washer went into the spin cycle, it "walked" out of the laundry room and into the bedroom... all by itself.
