Well, I haven't got the shotgun pool completely fixed yet, but I will give you an update on Monday. I can tell you about my dissassembling of the washing maching. I had remodeled my house and since I am not a wealthy woman *sigh* I had some friends help me. I tried to do most stuff myself, but after four weeks of complete and total disarry, I was making a major push to get finished up. Moved the washer and dryer from the den (they were just up against the wall) into the storage room (so you wouldn't see them from the den), redo the wall with the rotted beams and mold, etc. Flash forward. Everything is done. Only problem, every time I take clothes out of the washing machine it zaps me. I decide that when we were moving it we must have knocked something loose, so I disassemble the washing machine. Look for loose connections, wires touching where they shouldn't etc. I can't find anything. Spend four hours putting the darn thing back together (reassembly is NOT my specialty). I finally give up and call the washing machine repairman out. I tell him what all I've been going through, I'm a single mom, blah blah blah. He touches it and it zaps him, of course. Within a few minutes he is laughing and says "whoever helped you with your plugs, wired them backwards - well, actually, your wires are coded wrong so they did the color right but since they are coded wrong, they are backwards" - (fortunately he took pity on me and fixed it for me). Word of advice - washing machines are hard to put back together - especially when I disassembled it from the BACK and later my dad told me basically the top of it LIFTS UP when you remove a couple of screws, which I didn't know! Oh the work I could have saved!!!
