Right. However businesses aren't so happy if you want to buy something for a few RON and hand them a 100. Even if it is it $25 USD. It is all relative.

^^^ ok yeah, same issue. I run into that with Mex pesos too.

And while we're at it, go to Canada, and you'll have $20 in coins in your pocket in no time.

Heh. Ballast. I save it up and give it to my daughter so she can use it on campus for silly money.

Brand New neighbors kids are wheelieing up and down the street on dirtbikes at 40 mph. I love wheelies and dirtbikes, but not up and down my street here.

They have been in there new house a week and I already yelled at them. Am I crazy?

**Banh Mi** · 11-24-2018, 03:20 PM

No. If they were, I would have told them to get off my lawn! For sure. I definitely am that grumpy old man. I dont mind semi-loud and annoying..but annoying and illegal crosses the line for me. I’m only 27, wait till I’m 37+, Im gonna be fucken cranky.

The actual circlip doesn't annoy me...it's having them fling across the shop into the great void that does.

Can't have one without the other.

I hear ya.

And don't even get me started on bicycle freehub pawls and those tiny fucking springs that explode out in random directions.

Fuck waterboarding. The US government should just make terrorists put the springs back into those pawled freehubs.

It annoys me that they don't make front-load washing machines under 38" tall any more. And we have a counter built for a 36" tall machine to fit under. And we need a new machine. A new washer is in danger of morphing into a remodeling project. I'm scrambling for a Plan B.

I bought a 36" Danby front end loader I've been happy with. It was a while ago though.

**iceman** · 11-24-2018, 10:30 PM

Yeah they all got like 2.5 " taller for some reason. Hadn't figured on that when we built the place.

Cut a 2” hole in your floor?

Raising the whole long counter is probably the only answer if I can't find a machine that will work. I've spent some time looking this weekend and no luck so far.

That would really piss me off. Vibes.

1st world thread? Isn't that like the first rules of building? Don't build around a specific appliance? We had a similar issue with refrigerators. The previous owners didn't take this type of thing into account when they remodeled. Removing the vertical end piece was easy. It looks sort of funny though and we are still limited regarding fridge size if we don't want it to block a doorway.

**iceman** · 11-25-2018, 09:04 AM

Yeah it was definitely stupid in retrospect but all the front-load washers were about the same height when we built the place, we didn't build it with a particular brand in mind, that's just how big they were, and even so we left some space, it wasn't shoehorned in there by any means, there's a pretty big gap above the washer to the bottom of the counter. It just never occurred to us that every front load washer would suddenly be 38" tall or more, and it still puzzles me why they are. They're still 27" wide and they're still the same depth, they're all just taller for some reason.

It also annoys me that the woman my wife got to watch the dogs for a weekend while we went away decided to wash her horse blankets and killed what was a perfectly fine washer, but that's another story.
