Afew updates.
As i mentioned in another thread, I had to replace the battery in my truck. It was dated in 2017 so I say I got 7 good years out of it. Replaced it with an interstate battery but still need to paint the hold down bracket. I needed the truck, so it got put to work as soon as the new battery was installed. The old one seems to have developed a leak and some corrosion was happening.
If you ever have a chance to buy a PowerSmart lawnmower, just run away. It has to be one of the top 5 crappy designed lawnmower. It's a horizontal motor that was converted into a vertical mower via gears, pulley, and belts. Apparently, this lady hit a tin can and it caused the bearing carrier to self-destruct. Very crappy design for what I think is a use up what we have situation.
Went through the shelf area and got rid of some **** and placed some of it out to sell. Still need to purge some more but this is what my mind wouldn't allow me to get rid of yet. One shelf is still a bunch of parts I need to install on the camaro so it will clear itself in the near future.
Dishwasher in the kitchen was not cleaning the dishes well. So, I sat there while the washer was running, and I would randomly open the door to see what was happening inside. I figured out that the upper two arms were not spinning. Based on my knowledge of dishwasher I knew it was all about pressure that would spin those arms. So, after careful inspections of the sealed area that carries water to the arms, and not seeing any defects I decided to pull the washer out to inspect the pump assembly.
In my hast to get the washer back together before the wife came home, I didn't get pictures. But basically, there were some little bits of trash in the inlet filter that was keeping the inner piece from spinning freely.
The whole point of this assembly is you don't have to deal with small food particles as this was supposed to chop it up before it went down the drain. I guess this little bit of paper and gunk is all it needs to stop spinning and allow proper pressure to be achieve.
Oh well, at least now I know what to look for and how the dishwasher comes apart.
Then I took the time to clean out the wood room as this area has been bothering me.
What I started with,
After pulling out junk and cutting up random wood that's good for the fireplace I was rewarded with an area that I can now walk into and pick what I need. I still need to go thru the stuff on the wall but, this was a good start in the room.
This weekend is full of activities and chores, so I might not get much garage time. We will see.
