I just hate it when its down. . . . .

 So my darn washing machine started making more noise then I had ever remembered the other day. I didn't think much of it. (actually it vibrates and has done this for years and I just thought it was that) Well I was wrong. I just shove the load into the washing machine put some soap in and then go on my way doing something else. And that is exactly what I did when the washer decided it had had enough. So later on that day I went to put the load from the washer into the dryer and that is when I realized there was a problem. The load was sitting in lots of water. (usually the loads are just damp when the washer is done washing so I knew something was very wrong this time.) So I asked Mac if he would take a look and see if he knew what was wrong. The water pump had bit the dust. It was officially done!
 
So he got onto the computer and ordered a water pump and a spring (I guess the spring was broken and that is why the washer was vibrating so bad. go figure. I guess I should have had him look at it a while ago cause its been doing that for a very long time) Anyway, so no washing machine. I really didn't realize how much I use this washing machine. I usually do a load of laundry once a day. I really hate to have dirty cloths, rags, towels, rugs, and stuff laying around that are dirty. So when the machine went down I just about cried. I just hated it!
 
 Luckily the parts only took 5 days and $200.00 but we got them. But let me tell you those 5 days were loooooong days with out a washer.  The boys asked me to wash some of their cloths cause they wanted to wear them and then work wanted me to wash the rags and I had to remind myself I don't have a washing machine. Anyway, all was great at my house when the parts showed up!!! Yea I was so happy!
 
 So Mac got right to work putting them in! (he just knew that it was driving me crazy that I had a pile of laundry and there was not much I could do with it)
 
The parts were a little bugger to get in but all in all it didn't take him long to get the washing machine up and running again. Thanks so much Mac. I am so thankful that you were able to fix it. I sure didn't want to go and purchase a new washing machine right now! Love you tons!!

I thought maybe your computer was down since you hadn't posted for a bit......or maybe I didn't check. Glad your machine is up and running. Is this the washer that you had problems with when it was brand new and you lived in your home in Roy?
