Sheesh, it seems like something is always going wrong. I've had so many roof problems with my house. I at least finally found out exactly what the problem is and I'm slowly getting it fixed. But now my washer just decided to die. I thought the last couple of times I used it that it sounded different. It was working fine but was making sort of a grinding sound. So last night when I went to wash cloths it just wouldn't run.
I'm going to see if I or a friend of mine can fix it. Hopefully it just needs a belt or something.
In other news. I went to the fencing demonstration I had mentioned in my last post. It was just a simple demonstration to get people interested in the sport. The guy has an Epee class that I'd love to sign up for. Its pretty reasonable cost wise. But there are (as usual) a couple problems with it.
1) Its on Saturday mornings. I'm not a morning person and no one can convince me to be one. :-)Besides I work Saturday evenings which makes it more difficult.
2) Its location is in my general area but its still a fairly long distance drive. With gas prices I'm trying not to drive very far and don't really want to add to my gas budget.
3) With having to do so much maintenance on my house and the possibility of replacing my washer I don't want to spend anything on somethinng that isn't neccesary.
The class starts in a few weeks so I have some time to see how things go with my washer and other stuff before I make a final decision. I might talk myself into it yet.
now its the washer

Yeah I agree that its probably not worh having a repairman come in to fix it. It was a really good washer but its pretty old now and its also gotton somewhat rusty from being in the basement.
I was hoping just the belt or something minor broke but the belt is ok. My friend hasn't been over to look at it yet. If he and I can't do anything with it, then its time for a new one.
