Sorry, Brohampton. If I may borrow a lyric from that old standard Stormy Monday... "I was just basting your giblets while you was out in the corn field watching the owl shuck the dog".

The unknown last verse that T-Bone Walker left out.I guess it was too personal for him to let go public.

Actually not very wrong in this case....
Aftershop vac'ing all the lint out had to dig some of the dirt out and scrub the underside of the floorboards with Lysol to kill the smell. It got into the flex tube for the HVAC vent for that room and had to replace that also. 8 years later the shop vac still smells like meese pee.

I've had 2 really good,hardworking dedicated Hispanic techs(one Verizon,one Comcast) out here in the last month or two.Both had absolutely no problem crawling through my spaghetti network system,doing what needed to be done with absolutely no complaints or disgust(and if you saw my network,you'd have to redefine the word "disgust")

Things like that make my brain overwork,cause I have to readjust my thinking on stuff I thought I was right about.

When I first moved into the house I have now the previous owners had just cut a hole in the floor and stuck their dryer hose into the crawlspace. There was a mountain of lint under the floor and mice and made a huge multi family nest in it so that room above it always smelled like meese pee. That was fun to clean up.

I used to just stick the end of a flex hose into a 5 gal bucket of water and it would catch the lint just fine. Just had to remember to put water in the bucket each week before doing laundry and make sure the duct tape was still holding so it didn't pop out.

we did that when we lived in Philly.

It's a stocking on the end of a 6 foot 5" round duct in the basement.My Dad was a do it yourself mechanical engineer.It works for about 6 months before it needs to be replaced.

Man is it embarrassing at the store when it's time to replace the stocking.

Not as bad as when Mom was alive and I had to buy her new bras though. {#Lol}

Yep, a 20 yo Maytag washer is still a real one. I'd gladly pay $100 to $200 for one of them vs a new one. Dryers are dryers. Prefer electric.

OBTW, get your dryer vent pro cleaned if its a long twisty run to the out side.

If she can find a good small business that will supply support,I'd go that way.

Then again,until I had to start doing my parents laundry,I'd just put as much of my stuff of mixed colors in there as would fit.

Unfortunately,skid marks require bleach and I was cruelly forced to separate their whites. {#Lol}

I bought a black GE fridge. That was my contribution to a no design kitchen. {#Lol}
