Was God trying to tell us something? We bought that new kitchen table and couch and in a matter of 24 hours my dryer literally starts smoking and DH finds out he has to come up with a LARGE amount of money, by the end of the month ,for taxes on an estate. LOVELY!! This happens every time. When we bought our van something happened too, can't remember what, but it did.
The stupid dryer sometimes smells smoky but not for long. Well last night it smelled HORRIBLE. I opened it and a poof of smoke came out and the place smelled like a burning building. I called FIL to come figure out what to do. He came right over but proceeded to tell me over and over about the time there dryer wasn't drying and he took the entire thing a part. Couldn't find anything wrong, heating element was fine, etc. So he puts it back together only to find out as he was screwing in the LAST SCREW, that one of the g'daughters had put it on air fluff!!! I laughed. That was good!
So yes, DH thought it would be OK after i cleaned out the lent hose that goes from the dryer outside!? but i just looked inside the dryer again and it reeks. Needless to say the clothes that were in there I've had to wash 3 times to get that awful smell out. It's done for, now i have no dryer.
What to do, buy a cheap one? But a new one that I'd really like? Do we buy a washing machine too? Sometimes the deals are better!? What do you all recommend?
Oh and did i mention too that we hired a contractor to put in storms over the only 2 original windows in the house, trim out the kitchen AND sheet rock the garage ceiling??? Yeah, lovely! Sheet rock is being delivered Friday. I cleaned the garage out as good as i could stand too this afternoon. It sucked. The kids have to many toys, the cats have made havoc in there, and recycling has over taken our garage. I made a pile of 'free' stuff and have listed it on websites in attempt to get it out. I don't care if i get nothing for it, i want it out!!
