Just realized my grandpa's tool shed taught me more than any class
Went through my grandpa's old tool shed last weekend after he passed. Found a 1963 fix-it manual for washing machines with his notes scribbled in the margins. He'd written "check belt tension first, always" on like 15 different pages. That little detail hit me harder than I expected. Has anyone else found something like that from an older relative?

Grandpa's notes are just his opinion. Washing machine belts don't last 60 years. Technology changes. Those old repair tips get romanticized because he's gone now. A new machine has computer boards not pulleys.
