When the pictures of Rudy Giuliani in a dress showed up, no one gave a shit.

When the pictures of Madison Cawthorn showed up of him in women's underwear [and naked with a man], no one gave a shit.

When pictures of George Santos in drag showed up, no one gave a shit.

So, I will assume none of them will ever give a shit if pictures of one of their own show up in a dress.

Well, if the whole roof is off, I can see that. But along both lengths, you can see both differences in the fascia and shingles that you can see, which is why it appears to slope.

If it doesn't slope, OP, you can just remove and redo it.

From the images, it looks like the gutters are sloped properly, from "right to left" and around the corner. I believe you, but I don't see why it would pool there. I can understand why it would leak in the corner if the piece is not sealed properly, tho.

I've seen several times, too, when they are building a new neighborhood around here they dig a pit and put up a sign saying "concrete washout". They wash out concrete mixers, dump concrete rubble, etc. They then cover this it and it gets paved over as a road or made into a lawn in a common area or something.

It looks like the nut you removed between 1 and 2 was a compression fitting, so the broken "chrome" piece should just slide easily out toward you. And when I say easily out, I mean you should be able to grab it with a pipe wrench or strap wrench and twist it to free it up, and then twist while pulling out with great difficulty. If it's a standard size, a new pipe with compression fitting should slide it once you clean up the opening a little.

I should have been more clear, too. It is a common issue where that tube gets clogged, and the washer can't tell if there is water in the tub, so shuts down, leaves the tub full, and won't spin or drain. I replaced my washer recently, but I had to do the clearing of this tube maybe four times over the years. Again, I don't think it's likely here, but worth a shot. You may even see something when the washer is open.

Was the pump submerged or otherwise well-soaked? That would probably do it.

There are some videos on youtube on how to clear gunk out of the hose for the water-level pressure switch, it's really easy, but I would question whether that was the issue here. But, totally worth it since it's easy and costs nothing.

Even for non-GE washers, this is relevant and should be easy to follow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oosLzA9duzE

And in that video, he replaces it, but you really only have to disconnect the hose at the bottom, and use some kind of slim tool to scoop out the soapy lint.

Very first thing, ensure the water supply shutoff knobs are fully open. Could be the electric valve(s) inside that are stuck mostly closed. They are not terribly complicated and a fairly easy replacement if it comes to that. When you remove the supply hoses from the washer, you will see screens on the washer side, that may be clogged with sediment or mineral buildup. You can see the screens here: https://i.imgur.com/5cGwJj6.jpg

Finally, it may just be how it is. I replaced my washer a few months ago, and the old one worked, but had always filled very slowly.

Can't you just replace your hinges with a pair you can buy? You can find sets all over the internet. Do you have a picture that can show why that set is different?

I hate produced intros. I like when people skip "boring" process. If you say "now I will cut this out with scissors", show the start and end and any tips for odd things along the way, but don't make me watch two minutes of cutting out a shape. I watch a lot of easy recipe videos that are 9 minutes and can be 3 or 4.

For the wiring, yes. That is correct.

If you are showing a ground on the existing outlet with your tester, it just gets its ground from the box. It isn't necessary, but it would be more clear to the next person if you connected a short pigtail ground wire from the box to the current outlet's ground screw.

If I understand correctly, and the new wire is to run out of the existing metal box, to another outlet "downstream", you would just connect the new green ground wire to the box since the box is grounded and the existing outlet picks up the ground via its attachment to the box.
