Appliance repair is easy,fun and way cheaper than calling someone in.

As long as you can get good parts. The control panel on our Bosch dishwasher shit the bed. Bought what was supposed to be an OEM replacement. The only button that worked was the start button. Couldn’t change cycles. Put the old board back in(some functions worked but not the start button). I could change cycles(I just wanted to verify I had hooked everything up correctly and hadn’t damaged any connectors. Re-installed the new board. Same issue. Got the vendor to send a replacement. They didn’t want to first one they sent me so I am guessing it was a known issue. New controller has the same issue. Not worth screwing around with it anymore. It cleans the dishes.

I saw a statistic that there are an average of 4.6 guns in American households.

Sumbody is slacking.

I average that many in each room. And @Boo has more boomies than I do.

I’m over the avg but not by much. I do have a crossbow and a high power pellet gun along with various BB guns. My wrist rockets need new hoses.

Good to see ya back Walt - we used to have Sheriff's over here back in medieval times - I haven't seen any lately - maybe they are hiding? -

Yowza, we gots sheriff's over here. They have peculiar power. And yessir, the concept is based on the Brits.

A sheriff can tell the Feds to piss off. (eg: Feds say bump stocks illegal. Sheriff says eat shit and die, Fed. They are OK in my county.) A whole lotta other neato stuff, too.

The Sheriff down here in Floriduh gets on TV and says, "Some folks plan on rioting and burning. I suggest they do not try that here. Floridians like guns. They have guns. They can and will legally blow your head off with my blessing if you decide to violate their homes."

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That is a no-shit TV speech. You would be amazed at the extremely low gun crime rate there is around here.

Compare to Chicago, where the DEI sheriff ensures no one has guns (*snork*) <-- 929 shot dead in 2022

Oooh oooh. I just put a laser on my Empire HellHound crossbow. I love the beast, but it is simply no fargin good for futzin' around target shooting. It requires two-looped handle thingies to load it. (185#)

But it shoots through Kevlar. TINS

To quote Danny Vermin from Johnny Dangerously: "It shoots through schools."

Dryers are super easy its usually the thermal fuse and thermostat control.
Electric meter will tell you if the electronics are the issue a simple matter of conductivity........you can check that with your finger if its plugged in.

Now donchew begin slidin' off to other weapons. I begin at my ancient family katana:

Continue with my rare saw-tooth German bayonet (Penalty in 1915 for even just having one: the French would cut the nose off the German for having it because of the terrible wounds the forward-facing double sawtooth made.)

Then its just swords, hangers, cutlasses, sword-cane, bayonets (hard fixed and loose) some brass knucks and a Ridgeway pineapple grenade. I am pretty sure I skipped something on that list... Oh. A cannon.

Really when active working and had hands that were calloused and always wore good work boots.
Now my hands are soft as a jelly donut

Black and Decker makes most companies power tools.
Dewalt

Back and Decker

as a tradesman I used milwauke ,makita,bosch.

 

[OleReynard]

We buy ours from a local small place too. I do like working with them but I don’t like how the new appliances have held up. Not like they use to. Too much electronics on them now for me to work on them like I use to.

The smaller places especially have the quality appliances, the big stores have mostly plastic in their appliances

As a business owner operator I used nothing but Dewalt or hitachi
B & D still homeowner tools as always

 

[Unca Walt]

Oh, hell. I forgot the one I have to keep in the closet. My Beautiful Witch put her dainty foot down when she saw I was using her charmed claymore as a chainsaw. "Only for battle!" Jeez.

What? Oh, yeah. Here it is:

 

[Gray Wolf]

Irwin still makes decent tools for the cost.

I've also had good luck with Milwaukee, but still have most of my old tools and haven't bought any new ones recently.

We always take a ball at the vet from the free ball bin. Thanks to Miss Layla from Arlo this morning. I had to break out the bag of new toys this morning and find a stuffy to keep him busy this morning since we are missing our walk to the park. My bedroom is always covered in sheets and blankets to protect the lousy carpet that is on the list to change out to hardwood soon. Those poodle paws are mops in the mud…

Miss Layla says Arlo is welcome for any part she may have played!

Surly a worlds record

Not even close to Miss Layla's record or Heidi Ho's! Think dozens............
