Does the title of this post bring back nostalgic memories of the days when you used the laundromat? I didn't think so.
Today's post is about the handy skills of the Lynchs. I am sure many of you are saying...WHAT?! The Lynchs are not handy!
WRONG! We ARE handy!
Yesterday, as we were running 1 of our many many loads of dirty laundry, the washer suddenly made a terrible noise like someone stuck a piece of metal in a fan while it was running. This is not good for a fan and certainly can NOT be good for a washer. After successfully repairing our fancy (yet crappy) dishwasher a few weeks ago we decided that we would give it a try on the washer. I started scouring the internet for a solution to our washer noise. It seems that most people who reported hearing the awful grinding had a coin or some other foreign object in the drain pump. Everyone said, "It was simple to remove the drain pump, dump the coin and put it back in!". So, surely the Lynchs can do that. After unstacking the dryer from the top of the washer in a closet that is only about 2" wider than the W/D itself, getting to the bottom of the washer and unscrewing the 4 screws... sure enough it was a quarter causing all the ruckus. We successfully reassembled the washer and restacked the unreasonably tight fitting dryer and ran the test load. IT WORKED! Thus proving my theory...
The Lynch ARE in fact handy!
Now on to the treadmill...it seems that the walking belt is in need of replacement.

oH MY GOSH.....I am almost falling out of my seat laughing at "The Lynchs ARE handy!" comment!!!!! SWEET!!!!! Handy Manny!
Since you are so handy, I will pay your gas to come visit....AND (emphasis on the AND!) fix our plumbing issues--we have a drippy faucet, pipe AND need a new faucet. Up to the handy test?! :)
The title actually did bring back, not nostalgic memories of the laundry mat, but that I was probably in high school before I realized quarters could be used for other things than the laundry mat!
Hurray for you and fixing the appliances around the house!
brains & brawn- so not fair!
