hi Judy!!! Yes, 120* air temp - was over in Saudi and hope I never see those temps again. Only "good" thing I'll say is there was no humidity, but dang was it hot.

Knees aren't bad enough yet for replacement, I just see it in my future.... from the doc who said "you do have 50 yo knees"

Hope it goes away soon.

evening boys 'n girls. Hope everyone had an uneventful day....

working on a design for washer & dryer stands. The price of those things is ridiculous

 

Come on you know you will do some sort of perf mod soon LOL!!!

 

Best thing you can do is drink as much water as you can plus a bottle or two of Gatorade per day

 

thank you Susan.
and I agree about the pedestals. wow I was shocked never got them. thought I would make them but never got to it. good luck with them.

 

Dad had a history of kidney stones. At least half a dozen times, and they damaged his kidneys, so renal failure was what killed him. I had one (6.5mm! For reference, an airsoft BB is 6mm), and Dr. put me on 2000 units of vitamin D daily. No re-occurrence, going on almost 10 years now. TAKE those vitamin D pills!

 

Haha ! I know it's tempting! All joking aside I'm seriously thinking about adding this FJ part. It's a factory Toyota part and and bolts to the fender I've been told of our trucks. There's a little MacGyvering to do but the part has a clean out, and a blade that spins. Pretty Cool.

 

just framed up a wooden platform the same height and made a bump out for the hose from the dryer and ;painted it

 

Be careful of too much vitamin D. Too much is very bad for you!

 

You have a pic?

 

ill try to take 1 made the platform big enough for both to sit on

 

I'm still debating whether to make one big one or two small ones.....

 

i'm trying to get pic i just framed up 1 big platform out of 2x8's and capped with 1/2 inch plywood came out to be the same height as the bases you buy and with 1 large platform you don't have to worry about washer walking off on spin cycle

 

Lots of Water and vitamin D. got it thanks and Gatorade. Hummm the work place only has bathrooms on one side yep you guessed it the other side. haha

 

I never thought about one big one.

 

here susan can't really see much but it doesn't look baod and it's a hell of alot cheaper

 

Thanks.... I want it a little higher so I can put a laundry basket underneath it. So, you just laid a 2x8 on it's side, and then 1/2" plywood on top?

 

do a search on the 'net and you will see some real fancy stands way beyond my meager woodworking skills

 

yep i made a simple box frame out of 2x8 then decked it with the plywood there is a 2x8 crossbrace in the middle. you could always make taller with the front open in places to slip a basket under

 

I'm probably over engineering it

 

idk if tall enough but you could frame out of 2x12 and figure out a way to frame openings underneith, ours are front loaders and christie leaves basket on top
