In an effort to prove a woman wrong, a guy spends 4 hours replacing a clogged dryer duct (insisting it's the appliance that's bad)?
 
I love being right! Have a great day all.

I technically won $1 Million.. I think I need to seek alternative compensation.

In our house, it's my wife that wants to throw away appliances. Our washer went kerflooey last summer. It's a Maytag and over 20 years old. She was looking for a replacement when I got home. I suggested calling for service (all those years of Maytag Repairman commercials... plus we didn't have the $$$), found a local guy and called. He came over the next day, replaced a belt and guess what... It's STILL working - like a champ.

Service call - $75.

Belt - $20.

Being right? PRICELESS! :D
 
Our dryer is a 1967 model that I replaced the belt on once. The "duct" is 12" long. Mostly we use the clothesline, which has sadly become illegal and declared unsightly by most subdivision covenants.
