Washing my Ruggable

Our 7x9 rug is too big for the washer, so I clean it on the deck. Soak it with the hose, mix up a bucket of warm water and detergent, dump it on and scrub with a push broom. Some of the stubborn areas require some spot cleaner as well. The rinse off with a hose sprayer on jet setting, or if I’m not lazy I get out the pressure washer. Hard to fully rinse it out with the hose, so I then stuff it in the washer for a deep fill rinse and spin. Dry by draping over chairs wi the a fan underneath. Before and after pics.

Trusty Rusty Wheelbarrow broke. Repair or replace?

20 year old true temper wheelbarrow handle snapped, and busted the plastic wedge support as well. Quite a bit of rust but no holes. New handles are $20 each, don’t k ow if I can get a replacement plastic wedge support piece.

Is it worth the time and money to fix? Or better to just retire it and get a new one? What would you do?

How to get this off?

Maytag washer clutch replacement. Videos say this just wiggles off. It does wiggle, but not coming off.

What’s the trick?

UPDATE. Finally got it off. Some prying, and wiggling and wd-40 and cussing and about 45 minutes….

Ok

2016 Maytag top load ratcheting sound

What’s causing this ratcheting clicking sound? The agitator was a little bit loose, and I tightened that up but it didn’t solve the issue. Ideas?

How do you manage creating multiple sizes of the same ad?

I do the designs for theatre companies, which back in the day meant one poster size, one brochure size, and maybe a print ad or two. Now all (or at least most) advertising is done online - social media, enewsletters ads, website banners, etc. Meaning that there are usually a minimum of 20 or more sizes that need to be created. Larger ones can usually hold most of the original design, but then they get smaller and smaller... long and short, tall and skinny, so many different aspect ratios and sizes. some so small that only a word or two will fit.

I end up spending more time adjusting the design to fit in these crazy sizes than it takes to do the initial design.

How are you managing things like this?
