A bit off topic. Got a house, deceased estate. There was a Maytag
washing machine there, might be 30 years old according to the neighbour.
So it lasted a bloody long time. But trying to get the hoses off is impossible, decades of corrosion. So had to cut the hoses. Taps will
need replacing anyway, as looking very shabby.
