My dad gave me the inquiring mind to jump in and do things without wondering if I could, just do it was his attitude...too bad he died so young we would have been some team. My Mom on the other hand is the exact opposite so she chose the right man to share her nest! The dumps here won't allow one to scavenge, and this is a long response but I must share. Someone picked up a n old TV at the dump...took it home plugged it in and that night their house burned down...so they SUED the County and WON on the basis that the county did not protect them and due to that the faulty TV burned down their home! SO immediately the County changed the law "no more scavenging". SO that is the answer to our lax in Gun Laws...if I get shot I will sue the County for not protecting me with a gun law!

Ours is an old too but keeps going, one thing that helps to prolong their life is to make sure the filter is always clean and clear as it stops them overheating. I always take pictures of any wiring and You tube is a great source. Council dumps are a good source for spares, thats if they will let you. I've had a replacement washing machine door once. Doesn't DIY give you a tremendous sense of satisfaction, apart from having cracked it yourself you've not been ripped off.

The frozen pants thing is funny back when I was married, I froze my husband's pants and he brought them in to thaw so he could wear them the next day but when they thawed they were soaking wet..LoL, he was so surprised.

My mum used to hang my Dad's jeans out so they could freeze, she used to stand them in the corner of the room, as kids we thought it was hilarious!! It doesn't get that cold here now though.

Half a century ago I hung diapers outside every day and brought them in like cordwood to thaw in the middle of the living room in front of our oil stove. (All the other laundry once a week too). <br /><br />Have you thought of making your own YouTube channel?

I know the repair men have to make a decent living, but they price themselves out of getting the work sometimes. When I had my small business I felt if I kept my prices lower, then I'd never be out of a job and that worked!! I was always busy, but I didn't get rich!Sondrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03485055844682296876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569287982426382052.post-77701425518355866142018-02-10T23:01:45.821-05:002018-02-10T23:01:45.821-05:00Great job!

They showed it on a commercial from a local appliance store here. If you can keep those machines going good for you. The new machines are annoying and the washer sounds like a coffee grinder. These fix it companies are out of touch with there prices. Just like the 3 companies that came in to give me prices on a new furnace, not one of them bothered to see if it was fixable. New furnaces range from $2,500. to $3,000. I was fixed for $100. Just wish I had your talent. <br />Love your plants that is a great room.JOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658713978278693047noreply@blogger.com
