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;-)…

last August the dryer had issues and Ron from Hameed Appliance Repair came out and was able to repair it, even though it was very old…

in March, the oven needed a new element and Ron came to our rescue again…

Friday the washer quit, sigh, and I contacted them for an appointment… heard back that they would be here Tuesday morning… once again Ron came, figured out the problem, ordered, picked up, and installed a pump and belt… all within an hour… it was a difficult job as the washer was squished into a very small area… a small box of broken bits and a found sock are all that is left of the process…

I have been very happy with the quick response from the business and the excellent work they have provided;-)…

I must say it feels like I’ve been wearing those big girl pants way too much recently…

the dryer has been on the fritz for a week or so… we’d tried a few things, but nothing made a difference…

I sent a message to Hameed Appliance Repair on Wednesday and this morning Ron arrived and had a look…

he was able to replace a piece (even for this old dryer) and got it working;-)…

he advised we needed to change the vent tube, so we went to Home Depot again, lol… we’ve been there a number of times in the last few days…

now the tube has been replaced, the dryer is back in its spot, and laundry is being done;-)…

had a bit of a giggle on Monday night…

while I was having a visit with my BS buddies, one of them noticed that I had a dryer sheet attached to the back of my shirt… when she took it off, there was a second one as well…

what made it particularly funny was that I had removed two sheets from the sleeves of the shirt in the morning when I got dressed… apparently that particular shirt likes to collect stuff…

I rip the sheets in half and reuse them a number of times which means that there could be a number of them in a load of laundry…

I also went out for lunch… there were no diners behind me and luckily my friend didn’t notice, I hope, lol…

the next day I put on a pair of Spring-looking leggings which I thought I’d worn before… at the end of the day I discovered they had the plastic size information still on the leg…

lucky for me, I spent the day at home;-)…

my beloved would have noticed these things…
