Hey, our dishwasher is out. Do you and Susan make service calls? We're trying the fix it yourself thing too but can't figure out what to fix. Good job! The dryer drum does look like fun.

Yeah, honey! Now, get back to doing the laundry! ;-) I'm proud of you!
Love Always, Susan
Been there. We recently did CPR on my "hand-me-down" dryer that is 23 years old! (Thanks Granny!) Fixing it was great. It works like new again! Can we get another 23 years?? Doubt it. Can we get through until the adoption credit? YES!

Aren't mothers who live in town such a blessing? Otherwise how could you have gotten through three weeks without a washer, yikes! Great job on fixing it yourself!
