Yeah lol I’ve had my oops scenarios for sure.
I didn’t have a repair bill, thanks to being able to fix things mostly on my own.

That’s the link to the 2 part series, the first one is included in it. I’ll leave you to find the result of the repair job!
I had look and it seems your misfortune has turned into an opportunity to learn and develop personally and build some skills. A win win.
Best that you keep away from the washing in the future though, it seems not to be your calling. 😂
