Just when I was still basking in the warm glow of all my new stainless steel appliances. . . .
Yes, the dryer just went belly up. Good thing our porch and garage rival the hot box in the Bridge Over the River Kwai.
Still, I’m hopeful our repairman will be able to just pop in a new heating element. We kept the first dryer of our marriage going for 35 years, after all.
I’m wondering, though, if someone lasered the evil eye at me when I wasn’t looking. I have a feeling there won’t be any point in buying lottery tickets for a while.
Sigh. I have noticed (and snarled) that appliances don't seem to be designed to be repaired these days. Once they stop working the expectation is that we will simply lash out for a new one.
ReplyDeleteThis one's pretty old, so I'm hoping that it comes from the good old days of repairable appliances.
Deletebut are the necessary parts still available? That's the catch, here at least.
DeleteThat is an excellent bike rack. You don't have to lift the too high, but regain the floor space. Cool beans!
ReplyDeleteNot to mention its other function as a drying rack.
DeleteOn the other hand, you have drifted through the world of appliance repairs rather well.
ReplyDeleteHa Ha, if I were to hang things in my porch they would come back in dustier than when the went in the washer! My porch isn't glassed in, so the wind blowing through brings all the dust it picks up along the way.
ReplyDeleteEarlier in the year everything here would have been a lovely greenish-yellow shade from pollen.
DeleteWe had to replace the furnace and AC in one go this year, so don’t tell me your troubles. 😜🥸
ReplyDeleteOh dear! That's big league spending. Sorry to hear it.
DeleteYou know what happened, don't you? It overheard your comments about it all. I do hope you will be able to repair the old one.
