Had to carry my old washer and dryer up stairs and bring new ones in, so had to kill all my pains, LOL Depending upon the age of the washer/dryer, you might just regret doing that. The new ones aren't built as well as the old ones, are pretty easy to fix, and parts are relatively cheap. Shipping isn't, but the parts are. I had to replace the agitator cogs in my washer a month or two ago...$5 for the part, $15 to have it shipped "economy" (be there in a week or two, no tracking). Could've got 'em overnighted with tracking, but it was hard enough justifying paying 3x the cost of the part just to get it next week and they wanted a couple times more than that to get it to me quickly...especially aggrevating when it would've easily fit in the small $5 flat-rate USPS box & been here in 2-3 days WITH a tracking number. It's annoying when these places don't use the best available shipping option. Anyway, parts & pieces are easier to carry up & down stairs, and (except for the shipping charges) are less expensive.

mowerman Posted April 22, 2023 Author Share Posted April 22, 2023 Yes, I just fixed our dryer. Maybe mention that Amazon had all the parts it was squealing. I think I only paid like 40 bucks for an entire roller belt kit. It was a ball buster. Good to get a part but I saved a lot of money no more noises. I was just going to recommend a new dryer, but the old lady didn’t want to pay 900 bucks. So chalk up one more honeydew ha ha Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72757-well-on-a-happier-note/#findComment-529708 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted April 22, 2023 Author Share Posted April 22, 2023 And yes, rowdy I recently ordered a spring for a Briggs & Stratton and that shipping was more than the part Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72757-well-on-a-happier-note/#findComment-529709 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Good Deal Bob.. Last week, I was looking at our whole house HVAC unit.. The A/C went out last July. I had saved enough money to buy a new unit, only to find out I need an HVAC liscense to buy one.. That sucked.. So $3,000.00 turned into $6,000.00 +.. I decided to do some some trouble shooting, and found the Start Capacitor was bad.. I replace both of them, ($44.00) Well, ''on a Happier Note''.. ''Kaboom'' It works perfectly.. Hopefully I get a lot more service from it.. Dodged a Bullet there.. I hope you have a great day Bob..

Bullheaded Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 As far as the appliances, no I don't expect new throw away crap to live as long as old. I used to have 30 year old appliances but when they finally died I bought new and now I replace every 5 or so years. I have a friend that used to have his own appliance repair business and he closed it and went trucking. I asked home if he was insane. He said "I can't take the repair business any more with this new stuff. Do you know how hard it is to tell someone that broke the crisper drawer in their fridge you may as well go buy a new fridge because it's cheaper than that drawer." He said everything is throw away junk now. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72757-well-on-a-happier-note/#findComment-529723 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But she does appreciate my huge paychecks … what deal I see young couples, getting hitched nowadays nowadays all I could think of is, don’t do it bud… Hell, I'd be absolutely lost without my wife. She keeps track of the day-to-day stuff...laundry done, dinners cooked when she's not at work, dishes done, grocery shopping, makes sure the kids get to their doctor appointments, etc...and she stays on top of writing the checks to pay the bills. I fix stuff. Washer breaks, I fix it. Vehicle breaks, I fix it. I mow the yard, trim the trees, clean the gutters, take care of the horses, etc...time escapes me & it seems 2-3 months go by in the blink of an eye. Those "past due" notices quit showing up when she took over writing the checks, not that I didn't have the money to pay them...time just flew by and I didn't get the checks written to send off. We make a pretty good team, actually, and it works. Absolutely amazing how often she'll mention something she wants to get & I pull out my phone and show her pics I've been taking while pricing the same thing she was looking for...and I've probably heard her say "you're right" to me more than any other married guy has heard those words from his wife in the history of mankind...so she's smart, too.😂 It'll be our 9-year anniversary next month, but it's been almost 21 years since I met her. Just took me that long to convince her to leave Texas for Illinois. If I lived pretty much anywhere else, it may not have taken so long...but it's Illinois. NOBODY wants to move here. We're trying to leave, but people willing to buy a house here are few & far between. Not sure when "the change" happens to wifes that turn 'em bitter, and I suppose it's different for every couple. I'm hoping that never happens to her. Buddy of mine had his turn sour in 3-4 years, and I wouldn't wish what he went through on my worst enemy.😬 Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!
