@Pfuzylogic my dryer is still working, thankfully

I had the same problem with vibrators. That’s why you’ll find me inside with this.

@Ontheroad I know. I’ve really gotta do something to overcome this shyness.

How much is installation? Im sure I can round up a few SWers and come install it for you.

Just need to give us some SW coins and let us take a selfie with Mabel.

@BillyMack I bought the installation pack that comes with the hoses and whatnot, and I paid to have the old one removed. It’s being installed on Monday

@itsok yeah that’s probably better. I can’t get there until three Tuesdays from now. Between the hours of 9-3

@BillyMack it’s in my calendar. See you June 16th. I’ll have snacks

Gibbon is exactly right
Nothing is made like it once was.

All appliances are extremely expensive

I heard those scrub boards sheer off nails and skin if you are not careful

@GeminiRain it’s a sacrifice I must be willing to make 😏

GeminiRain · M

@itsok 😉 Indeed

The bigger question is why can't today's technology build something to last. The old machines ran and ran until the mechanical timer failed.

@Gibbon I’m sure they could

Gibbon · 70-79, M

@itsok Absolutely. But limited life is intentional for sales turn over . Same reason they build rechargeable products with permanent non replaceable batteries .

Mine did cost €250, installing it was as simple as connecting two pipes and a plug, so I did it myself; at the most the balancement if you have an uneven floor

If it was 1 grand I'd skip that too and go back to fig leaves like the primitives
