He cleans or replaced the filter on the inside of the hose from the faucet. Our washer wouldn't work right. After he replaced the filter it worked fine and I haven't had any more problems. I got the Speed Queen washer a little over a year ago and really like it.

One of the people I spoke with at the post office said that we needed to put a lock on our mail box. That's great that you all have already done that with your community mail boxes. OMG, I cannot believe your refrigerator already went kaput. That is terrible. I would have argued with them over that one too. Good thing your bought the extended warranty. I usually don't buy those either, but will seriously consider this into the future after all of this.Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486895127003368291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-47198965566790724432020-10-22T10:09:12.950-04:002020-10-22T10:09:12.950-04:00Hi Belinda :) I cut my hair this week too!

Lopped off 2 inches, it feels great! :) Oh the mail...we are in a rural area, but most of Canada has switched to community mailboxes that you need a key to open. Great job on the insurance savings!!! My insurance calls happen in the spring. We had to buy new appliances this year when we moved. We bought mid-price too. I hate that they all rely on computer chips now. We got them in July and our fridge is already kaputs. I had to argue with the company (Midea) but finally they agreed to deliver a replacement. This is the ONE time I'm happy I bought the extended warantee! (which I always find such a waste of money!)Rain https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377719049819222133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-22873306550135669362020-10-22T09:33:56.586-04:002020-10-22T09:33:56.586-04:00I hope your washer and dryer lasts a long time too...I hope your washer and dryer lasts a long time too, Sam.

So frustrating! We asked our repairman what brand to buy and he said Speed Queen. They are expected to last 25 years since they do not have the cheap plastic parts that other brands have and are all USA made. I am happy to say that 8 years and they are still going strong without so much as a hiccup. They were around $1000 each but in the long run we will save money.Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380649410508372279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-88714571351020944392020-10-18T08:00:05.173-04:002020-10-18T08:00:05.173-04:00Thank you so much!

From what I can gather, 8 years is good for a dryer these days. My daughter washes one load per day at least and I was thinking it was from using it a lot too, so you may be onto something there with the smaller amount of loads per week. I hope yours lasts a good long time too, both your dryer and washer. :)Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486895127003368291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-53377055698215816182020-10-17T11:50:01.820-04:002020-10-17T11:50:01.820-04:00Thank you, Vickie.

It’s also big enough for small packages, big padded envelopes. I think it was about $90 back then. <br /><br />Can you ask mailman not to leave packages at the mailbox unattended, and deliver it to your house? <br /><br />Hope you and Bailey have a wonderful weekend.

Hope you are able to get some money back.<br />Sorry about the washer and dryer problems. I hope the new ones last a long time. I remember my mom's washer lasting 25-30 years. I am lucky if mine lasts 10 anymore. <br />Great job stocking up on ground beef. It is so versatile. You can fix so many different meals. <br />I think Hocus Pocus is a funny movie.
