on Tuesday, September 11, the dryer stopped working… they had been here almost exactly a year ago to repair it the last time it stopped working… at that time it needed a belt somewhere in the back…
my grandson took a look and discovered that the belt that goes around the drum had broken… he looked on YouTube and figured he could fix it if we got the part…
I contacted Hameed Appliances Repair by email and asked if we could just get the part or whether they needed to come out to fix it…
they were quick to respond and agreed to drop off the part the following Monday once they received it…
$30 later, and six days without a dryer, the part was delivered to the house…
we were very happy, but when my grandson looked at it he realized it wasn’t the correct belt…
this time he contacted them by phone as I wasn’t sure what was wrong with the one we got, lol…
after a conversation with them, including sending photos, they ordered a different belt and it was delivered on Friday…
as soon as my grandson got home he headed to the dryer and with me holding the top open, and him following a YouTube video, he had it attached in about fifteen minutes…
and it is working perfectly… now he says he is an appliance repair person, lol…
eventually we realized that my description hadn’t been clear enough and they had sent the same belt that was used to repair it the first time…
even though it took quite a while to get it all sorted out, I was pleased that they hadn’t insisted that they needed to come out and fix it;-)…
this afternoon the doorbell rang and it was my neighbour…
he and his helper had come to see if they could fix the two pieces of siding which have been flapping on the side of the house for ages…
he had already moved the plunge tub and wheelbarrow to get to the ladder which hangs on the outside of the garage and then he got right to work…
it took awhile to get both pieces back in place and he had a tool in his hand that I couldn’t quite make out, but after moving the ladder a number of times in both places, he got it done…
I am so happy because now I won’t have to listen to the flapping anymore when it is windy…
after getting the books yesterday, today’s project was to get the JD Robb Excel spreadsheet prepared… it was fun to spend some quality time with the laptop…
once they were entered, I had to sort them in order…
I laid them out by number and then found a place to line them up…
and they fit perfectly on the shelf in the computer room, although it may be an issue to add the rest, lol…
it was hot but we had a crazy busy and productive day yesterday… the shed, which I haven’t been to the back of for over fifteen years, got emptied…
it had been jammed with all kinds of goodies over the years… let’s be honest, my beloved was a pack rat… and, I may have added a few items…
part way through the process it looked a bit better…
once all the “stuff” was removed, they had to shovel out twelve garbage bags filled with seeds, nuts, bits of cardboard, chewed up wood, and insulation…
