My Publications
My pen name is Cal Kasheau. Hey, I'd like to shamelessly promote my literary accomplishments while I have your attention. I have several short story titles you can get on Amazon; the links are below. Some are humorous, some reflect events in my life, and some are legends I heard of as a child in the swamps of Louisiana. They are only a dollar or two, and most are free with a Kindle unlimited membership. I hope you will take the time to read one or two and give me your honest opinion in the comments on whether or not I should continue to pursue a side gig as an author.

Chip, great repair video. Your catalog of repair videos for the direct drive washers is the best on UA-cam. When I am pre-gaming a repair on a direct drive washer the information, tips and advice you have provided in your videos is priceless.
Also, great business pep-talk.
A few more treats and Speedy will be your buddy.

[@HarperandKnowles]

I’m glad someone gets value from them. I like making them. Speedy is new guy at the shop. I’m not sure where he lives but it has to be close by. It seems like Wally drags a new friend in to gobble his treats every day. Thanks for watching my friend and for your positive feedback too. It inspires me!

[@HarperandKnowles]

from experience I would change suspension pads, very low cost and they will make the basket travel from side to side to a new level 40 years as a Whirlpool tech keep up the videos Joe retired tech in Idaho

[@HarperandKnowles]

These looked like had recently been changed. There was hardly any wear on them at all. You dedicated 40 years of your life to fixing these! Your contribution to the community here is greatly appreciated. I look forward to you sharing more of your experience with us. Thanks for the excellent tip!

Some of those baskets have a filter comb on bottom. Do u replace it ? Clean it or remove it? Always wondered about that! Thx. Luis

[@HarperandKnowles]
