Broken Dryer - Fixed
I like hanging clothes on the line outside - it's kind of relaxing. But after days of hanging our clothes in the basement (because it was freezing outside), I decided that I would look up what was wrong with our dryer and see if I could fix it. The belt that rotates the drum had snapped! After looking on-line, it seemed that it wasn't too difficult to fix myself (although it did suggest that you have another person to hold the drum while you attach the belt to it's pulley). I called around looking for the part and found it for $20. I brought it home and proceeded to read the instructions which helped me figure out how the pulley works, where I attach the belt and illustrated on nearly half the page how if you install the drum incorrectly, it could start a fire (FREAKY!). Well, of course, I couldn't install it myself, so I called Nate down and together, we got it all put back together, I think correctly, and it's been working ever since!
He would rather call a repairman, but I have a great time working on projects with Nate and though I usually do not intentionally start a project with the thought that he could help me finish it, I kind of like it when it happens.
I should have had one of the kids take pictures of us working on it - I'm just glad it's working!

you're super woman!
You are amazing! Paige would have done the same thing ... and I am in Nate's camp of calling a repairman. But good thing we have wives that are talented and resourceful. You guys rock!
Impressive!
WOW, WAY TO GO KRISTA!
