Powercat weather vain set.  Stuck in the ground? No. Try half a bag of quikrete 6 in deep.

Should just be the door switch in the circuit. I don't see a second one. :)

https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model/2sktlsp0jd-001810/admiral-lnc6743a71-washer-parts

I'd try bypassing the switch with alligator clips/wire.


Edit: If you can't read wiring diagrams, it's in the upper left corner. Just that switch and the push/pull knob for starting the wash in the circuit. I don't see a second one in the front where the lid stops.

If you remember several weeks back, I had to replace the floor joists underneath the old bathroom.  It was a Jack & Jill between our 2 largest.  Here we are with the master suite framed in and mostly rocked and partially taped.  Pocket door enters suite hallway with another pocket door on left leading to her closet.  Straight ahead is the vanity.  The space on the other side of the hall & closet, the actual bathroom space, was added to the master by placing another wall in the other bedroom.
To the left of the vanity is a toilet closet accessed by pocket door.  To the right is a walk on shower.

Pic 1: looking into en suite from master

Pic 2:  closer pic of 1

Pic 3:  looking back i to master from en suite

Pic 4 & 5: closet

This was part 1 of this project.  Making a nursery out of the other Jack & Jill bedroom.

Pic 1:  the hall.  Opening to right leads to kitchen/den.  Had to move that opening about 5” to accommodate the closet straight ahead.  The closet straight ahead was actually into the room and accessed from the hall.  It was a coat closet.  We flipped it and it is now the nursery closet.  The door was directly across from the kitchen opening.  We offset it from that opening for sight & noise reasons being a nursery and all.

Pic 2:  right wall of nursery.  That wall actually was 100% closet.  We blew out the closets and made the nursery closet from weird hall space.  That is how we were able to gain room for the master en suite.

Pic 3: the left nursery wall.  This is the new wall located about 6’ to the right from the previous wall space.

Pic 4:   The nursery closet.  This is the one we made from hall space.

Still need to hang the pocket door and wood blinds/shutters in nursery.  Also, hall will not get trimmed out until next project.  That includes 3rd bedroom, hall, and hall bathroom.

Pulled the little beaded string thing out of the fan/light in my sons room. Try to fix it or just order a new one and make someone put it up there for me?

1960 built pier & beam.  1 owner and all original when we bought it.  So if that is classic, then yes.

After 30 years enclosing the back yard as fence on three sides.  So doing each end of house.  This is hard AF getting everything aligned and straight.  Decided to use this expandable foam in the post holes.  Instructions make it sound like your handling radio active material.  Gloves, goggles.  Break the seal, mix vigorously as the solution gets hot, dump into the hole at 15 seconds before the bag EXPLODES.

Oh I guess everyone has enough toilet paper now so they are stocking up on 6 ft 4 x 4 .  Had to buy 8 ft and will cut them off.
