Ok maybe its not falling down but it certainly is coming apart at the seams a bit. I was washing dishes the old-fashioned way. Our house is much too small for a mechanical dishwasher. All of a sudden I hear a rushing sound...kind of like a tiny waterfall. I turn off the water, but still hear the sound of water gushing. I glance underneath the kitchen sink and the pipe is clearly leaking. Well not leaking really. Lets say its more of a torrential downpour. The pipe isn't completely connected to the sink and looks as though it has rusted through. So when my dear dear husband comes home I slam him with, "Honey...I think there is something wrong with the sink". Two trips to the hardware store, a couple hours and a few curses later and the sink is functional and is sporting some sparkly white pvc pipe. Crisis averted and all is well.
Until that is I do some laundry. It is T-minus 4 hours until we leave for our 4 day camping adventure. I am trying to get all our towels and some miscellaneous camping clothes clean before we leave. I open up the dryer to find some incredibly hot but not nearly dry towels. Ok I start the dryer and listen. It sounds a bit odd. I open the door to the dryer and the towels haven't moved one inch. Great now the dryer is down! Not only is it down but I also have a full load of clothes in the wash. So now I have to find places to hang all this stuff. Did I mention that our house is small? I have clothes hanging from closet doors and window jams, chairs, door knobs, plant hooks, and closet doors. Luckily it was a nice day and with the help of some open windows and our ceiling fans everything got mostly dry before we left on our trip. So when we got back from 4 days of camping bliss (with the exception of me burning my foot with bacon grease), Jason went in search of dryer parts. 3 hours, 4 stores, and much frustration later, Jason fixed the dryer with a new belt and the help of DIY on you tube. Please Lord save us from any more fix it projects!
