I HAVE A MODEL

amusement park that i spent 10 years building. it is on a H.O. scale and had over 40 rides all working at one time. then i moved to the country as i call it and my model sits in it's own room, partially assembled again. i was gonna start working on it again this past winter but discovered automatic washer.org instead and have spent the past 6 months collecting my dishwashers.

the name of the park is "willow Point Lake" and i do have many pics and a videotape for anyone interested. i worked at cedar point in sandusky ohio for 10 years so most of my inspiration came from there.

i will get back to it sometime soon here hopefully but for now the park is closed until further notice!

I'm cooking when I'm not hunting down vintage washers or dishwashers! My other major hobby is working on vintage small appliances. Here's what my current TO-DO pile looks like!

Moulinex Major - Mums first - would kill to own one now.

Failing that I may be whipping up a cake or two in the Kenwood Chef.

Trained as a chef at college so use my skills daily at home.

i like finding broken machines along the road bring them home ...fix them and then sell them....funny which machines you find alot of and ones you never get to see that much...many ge, kenmore/whilrpool, frigidaire w/agit....one 2 maytags ever in my life time and they only needed a lid switch..i like taking apart to see the design and how they work....sometime wish i could combine several machines to make the perfect one with everything on it...lol...

BTW: i like /Ghost Hunters too...jason's hot!!!
