Our clothes dryer had been making a screeching noise. I figured if you ignore it, it might go away. Well it didn't. And the dryer just stopped working. So, I went to Home Depot to price some dryers. I was pleasantly surprised that they were not as pricey as I'd anticipated. But, upon arriving back home, I figured there might be a way that the "McGuyver" in me could do something. So I grabbed the pliers and screwdrivers.
After taking apart nearly the entire dryer (excluding some electrical components because....well, I don't wanna burn down a home), I discovered that the belt was broken. I ordered a replacement online. Waited 5 days for delivery. Installed it. It worked. It felt good to sit and stair at the drier—all put back together, and actually spinning. But the darn thing is screeching still. Looks like we're back to drier purchase mode.
Thank goodness for moral victories—may we have the eyes to spot them, and the perspective to celebrate them.
