Want a nice laundry set, how many washers/dryers do I have to scrap in order to by a new set.

These are not actual questions, just thinking in terms of number of items scrapped to get new item.

Just a random thought while breaking stuff down. Have a good one!

I've been looking at a 40 volt B&D...if you get one, let me know how it works out for you.



SO talked me into buying a 4 cycle R*obi last year, then laughed and said "because you're a woman" when I told him it was junk...until he used it. Not enough sentence enhancers in the dictionary to express how much I hate the blasted thing.
