today i took apart my broken washing machine (yup, i like doing traditionally manly things around the house)... nope, not to repair it... i wanted to keep the inner stainless steel and plastic tubs before disposing of the rest...
guess what, i think my hands thickened and hardened the equivalent of ten years given all the screws i had to remove! i never thought that thing had so many nuts and bolts!
after what seemed like forever turning this, this, this and separating that, that, that, i thought i could finally pull up the tubs... well? i could have torn a muscle trying to raise that cylinder! it was so heavy!
i flipped the thing upside down and unscrewed the bottom... ta-daaannn!!! there i saw attached to the tubs what i think is the motor plus this very heavy steel thing that could have anchored a ship! (okay, okay, exag!) what more, there were several screws, the types that did not have grooves! waaahhh!!! how do i unfasten those things? pliers? wrench? ugh!
when i think of all the effort i will have to put in again, i'm inclined to do away with the tubs... but when i think of all the effort i've already put in, all the more that i'd like to get them...
bottom line, is it worth it? depends on how much i want it... how happy will i be having it? how sad will i be without it? hmmm... hmmm... hmmm... i'll have to rest and think awhile -> then listen to my heart... ;")
