handyman'd the crap out of having my heat pump get destroyed and having someone that knew what they were doing put a new one in today

Think my timer went out on my oldish toploader Kenmore washer. Is it worth the $140 bucks of part to test out my handyman-ness? I need this washer to last me < 2 years until i can combine appliances with ms. ww.

Nope.  You can buy a decent used washer for less, I bet.

Bought our washer and dryer on Craigslist in like 2011 for $200. Still working great. Waiting for them to break before we get nice ones. They look hilariously out of place in comparison to our other appliances.

We just bought a dryer for $75 on craigslist.  Only 2 years old.  Anyway we put the old, broken dryer on craigslist for free and this guy came out to get it so I went out to the back patio where we had put it to help him carry it to his truck. He picked it up by himself, put it on his back and carried it all the way to his truck and put it in.  It was awe inspiring.

as a general rule I don't repair appliances. If a part goes out, there's a good chance the replacement part is going to fail within a year and you'll be stuck in this perpetual circle of broken appliances. For example: my refrigerators ice maker went out a while back. fixed it, worked for 6 months, broke, fixed again, worked for a few months. said eff it and bought a new fridge. life's good now.

Nice.  Build my son a loft from scratch about three weeks ago.  He has a permanent fort built under it now and he spends almost all his time in the fort.

Probably should confess the fist launch failed as I tried to hinge it between dock and the walkway.  It's way over built as the floats are rated to hold like 1500 lbs each.  So it was pretty tipsy.  New hardware going to make the T a solid connection and I should be good to go.  Should have asked for some goEMAW engineering advice.
