Dryer broke

Did a full load of wash and then discovered that the dryer wasn't working. Clothes are hanging all over the place!

How many things need repairs around your place?

Repairing, replacing, upgrading... The mini fridge in my room stopped working for a while and the other night I just decided to plug it in in bam! It was running as good as before. My whole room needs upgrading. It's beyond vintage right now.

On your dryer - You probably already know these things but it doesn't hurt to check:

1. Make sure it's plugged up. Kids, pets and husbands can do all kind of things back there.

2. Check you fuse or breaker box. Blown fuse? Flipped a breaker?

3. The door has a switch on it that allows the dryer to start when the door is firmly closed. Make sure nothing is keeping it from closing and if you want to borrow my hammerhead screwdriver you might could repair a faulty switch.

Sorry, that sucks.

The only thing I can think of that needs repairing at my house is my front storm door. The wind ripped it open and broke the bottom hinge. Of course, it's a special order type of hinge soooooo here we wait for the hinge.

Hope your dryer is an easy fix.

Nothing needs repairing or upgrading in the house I live in.I live with a friend & everything she gets has to be top of the range.

I have been apartment living my entire adult life so I just have to rely on landlords for stuff to get fixed. Oh joy. I try to count my blessings and make the most of visits to a laundromat. But it's one of my life dreams to have my own washer and dryer. Maybe in my forties.

I live in my car and am in fear it will break down all the time.
If it did, I would be sleeping on the sidewalk, literally. I have no
refrigerator or washer and dryer, I have nothing like that to worry about.

    Mom and I have errands to run this morning. She said we can get sushi for lunch though.  I go back to work today. What are you looking forward to this weekend?

    Quick, before the evil MONday gets here!  Let's climb those mountains, dance in the meadows, dip our feet in the ocean....Okay, so most of us won't be doing any of That.  Sadly.  But today can still be a great day!The area behind our back fence is on an incline, with less than two feet on even ground at the top.  I don't balance well enough for the incline, but our mower guy mows that...
