OMG I'm so happy...the Nazi's are here!

Someone get the tea kettle going, meanwhile I'll make up some delicious crumpets. I usually just like mine warm with butter, but I'm sure we can also provide some sweet or savory toppings to go with these.

It will be so nice...sigh. :dance:

"HUGS EVERYONE"


:daddance:

Yeah, I predict this won't last long.  Still, I'll make some of those little sandwiches to go with your tea and crumpets.

I was packing my shit. I was on my way out. But then I saw a Nazi come in. I noticed that some welcomed him. I dropped my bags and thought, "Maybe I can stay for one more cup of tea."

Can we use this as our tablecloth? You know...To make him feel welcomed.

Grumpy no more!

The antifreese has worked! My kitchen sink now drains freely - more freely than before after some of the pipework got a reaming out!

Side benefit is that the cupboard under the sink (full of cleaning stuff and recycling bin) has had its most thorough cleaning since I installed it over 10 years ago. Floor next.

The new washing machine just arrived! The old one broke, as if it suddenly decided it would just sit there and die after it has signed a mechanical "Do Not Revive Fix" statement.

Motor problems.  :sadnod: We said our goodbyes and called the garbage company so that they could collect the metal carcass as quickly as possible.

It does, up until the point we started to discuss selling it for parts. I would never do that to a friend. Really!  :devil:

The repair person said it was motor problems? I've seen a lot of washing machines break down but never a failed motor. The brushless motors most use keep going for a looooong time. They weren't the same folks who sold you the new washer were they?

Motor and electric panel problems, according to the repair person. I don't discard the possibility that they're trying to scam us, saying it's a more serious issue than it actually is, but they were from the authorised repair service so it's less likely than if we called a random repairman. The washing machine was bought from a supermarket eons ago and is no longer under  guarantee so we thought it was time to buy a newer, more eco-friendly model which will save us costs in the long run.

Known of a couple of bearing failures rather than electrical ones. Happier with digital programmers, the old rotary switch jobs could be a bloody nuisance and a common cause for scrappage.

I don't doubt you could save in the long run. I'm impressed though that a supermarket sells large appliances.

A bearing failure was my thinking. You can almost always find replacement bearings too. So long as the shaft wasn't totally wrecked it's usually fixable.

Sorry, autocorrect changed 'hypermarket' to 'supermarket'.  ::) The french chain Carrefour to be exact.

JJ and Dave, I agree that bearing failure may have been the cause. The three of us might have merely replaced the bearings but that is not the way the world works these days.  Parts are no longer replaced as in the practical and sensible and economic ways of the past.  Shit can the whole thing and replace it with a more expensive new one. Sad but true.........

So...today autumn starts in the southern hemisphere! Colder days! :dance:
