We replaced our washer some time ago. We hooked up (straight forward stuff) and started a load, but it would never get past the initial "sensing" phase. Tried resetting it multiple times per manual. Nothing. Finally realized we'd (I'd) never turned the water supply back on. Works just fine. 💪🏻

Happy New Year, my dear. Blessings and hope for a more sane 2026 (not a high bar that).

I was referencing the villain from "The Princess Bride" - the movie I've easily watched a dozen times :)

You should've said no 6-fingered men either ;)

No one needs to visit us until we get the trash out of the house, bleach the dirt laundry, and complete a thorough renovation of the interior.
(so much for "🎶I'm glad to be an American where at least I know I'm free")

Between the deer and raccoons it's a slaughter every year. 😆

Say what?! This is doable!!
