Can't just talk about the other site all day, so... against the advice of ChatGPT and others... I am going to attempt to replace the door boot seal on my 15 year old washing machine and document at least some of it here (Mastodon is running a bit slow with latest influx, so we'll see)

Most people seem to expect a glorious failure, but my wife believes I can do it. #SpinImIn #DIYfollies

The door boot seal has holes in it, so any time we run the laundry a ton of water leaks onto the garage floor.... and we just sweep it out onto the driveway (you can see a leftover puddle below).

I have watched a dozen YouTube videos... and have made a (really, not kidding) 37 point checklist to follow.

I'm not the handiest guy around and I managed to do something similar (I admit, it took me much longer than necessary I guess), but the machine is still running fine, about 8 years on. So you can do it!
