I did that once. "She who must be obeyed" now has a new washer and dryer and old ones are in the hangar for shop rags and coveralls. I even ran a white rag around the tub to check for grease and she still found out.

I have a nearly unlimited supply of shop rags from my Dad. When they open up the sterile packages of blue hospital rags in the operating room they have to throw the unused ones away, but my pops keeps them. He has trash bags full of them. I don't even worry about washing them most of the time. ------------- "working on these old boats may not be cost effective but as it shows its what it brings into your life that matters" -Roger http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=4897" rel="nofollow - 1973 Skier |

Same here  But now that Karen doesn't work at the Hospital anymore--and Heather can't get them for me-- I rely on Brent- the son-in-law , to get them for me. He's in maintainence there. But he doesn't keep me stocked like I need. Keegan-- can you get me a big bag? Then when you come for that #2 Fender, we can swap ------------- 66 Skylark http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5041" rel="nofollow - 93 SN If you're not living in NC, you're just camping out! |

Kids are out of school tomorrow an I am off so we will be prepping the boat for the season. ------------- "working on these old boats may not be cost effective but as it shows its what it brings into your life that matters" -Roger http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=4897" rel="nofollow - 1973 Skier |

I do that every now and then, but if the wife ever found out I'm sure she would insist on a new washer. She wants a new one so bad I'm really surprised I've been able to hold her off. Just don't see the need for a new one when the one we have works well. ------------- 1977 Ski Nautique Under Re-construction http://www.correctcraftfan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25004&title=1977-ski-nautique-rebuild" rel="nofollow - My Rebuild Thread |

The guy who I buy my parts from, who also sells news appliances says that I am far better repairing my 15 year old washer/dryers than buying new. He says the new ones will only last 8-10 years. They are far easier to work on than a correct craft. ------------- For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died.
