The dryer story part 1 1/2

"ok, what I am going to do is punch a 4 inch wide hole in the utility room to the outside of the house. Then I am going to put some flashing up and a rigid 4" tube with a vent cover w/flap outside and caulk it with silicon. All this should give us a modern dryer vent and fix our dryer problem." I say....mind you I have my hands on my hips, my right foot on rock about knee high, my face looking up into the sky, and my cape flapping in the wind as my theme song is playing in the back ground.

"I think the dryer is just dead" My wife is going for my throat on this one. I mean come on! I just said all this official sounding stuff and used all these ambiguous words in a long drawn out run on sentence. How could she just sit there and pronounce the dryer dead!?!?

"No no honey....its the heat. How else can you explain the intermittent drying"? I had her! She was busy with unpacking and taking care of the cute little girl. I could hear my theme music again! "Well hurry up, I need to dry the clothes in the washer"

Some where....a little hardware angel just got his wings

The dryer story

*Nuuuuuuuurrrrrrg*........."damn it"! I unplug the dryer and plug it back in and press the button to make it start...*nuuuuuuuurrrrrrg*. "Damn it"!

"Well it was working before the move" my mother is trying to rationalize that it should work. "Yes and it was working after the move too. I just watch Rebekah do a load of laundry but now it is crapping out" I reply. "It could be that the hot air is not venting well enough and causing the dryer to over heat" I say in a matter-of-fact way...it was enough to convince my mother that I was right. The dryer vent hose is snaked around the dryer and pointed at the side door to the house.

Why is the hose snaked like that? Cause I can't find the damn vent tube that leads outside. It is the damnedest thing I have ever seen

See folks my 10 year old dryer is crapping out...well my mothers dryer but lets not draw lines. Sometimes it will run about half way and then crap out with a pronounced *nuuuuuuuurrrrrrg* noise. Sometimes it willl work for an entire load. Lately though it just gives us the *nuuuuuuuurrrrrrg* and then flips us off.

The dryer is a son of a bi[censored by Al Sharpton]th....bastard dryer.

So begins the saga of the dryer
