  • Howdy, y'all! My name is Mike and I absolutely love scavenging for free stuff, random treasures, lost valuables and other interesting artifacts. I mainly rock the dumpster diving scene but can be found digging through trash curbside as well as scavenging the river bottoms for lost treasures in the summer months. Join me on my epic voyages!

    It says a lot about the quality of these newer appliances….that dryer was a really new model…and it’s already being sent to the garbage lol….

      I still am using my JennAir double oven. Got it when my son was in 3rd grade he is 39 now! The freezer up at ourvsummervhome in Montanacwas a Montgomery Ward 1958 still had the manual. We gave it away as we are not there to use a freezer during winter. But, it worked fine. Was clean and working fine. Neighbor took it gladly.

    When you find an overhead fan, I look forward to the tiny yells and screams when you rip off the blades. Call me odd!!

      I remember watching a video a couple of years back, where a professional washer & dryer repairman who’d been in the business for decades, talked about these fancy new high efficiency front loading washers are hot garbage and only last a few years. He said he told customers to avoid buying them at all costs and just buy the old fashioned top loading washers if at all possible.

      They had a recall on Samsung washing machines. I had one.

    • @russellcrawford4809
      @russellcrawford4809 Před 16 dny +6

      With the digital technology in the new appliances, although a shame , it's cheaper to replace the entire unit than to replace parts

    • @user-du7nx5do2d
      @user-du7nx5do2d Před 16 dny +3

      Samsung had a recall on washing machines. I had one and got back over $400 if I remember correctly.

    It's a good thing you scavenge only metal for the junkyard because if you were a scavenger for other things, you'd be a hoarder. It's amazing what people throw away. The bicycle, burnpit, and tennis rackets all look brand new.
