What? You didn't think I was actually talking about household chores did you? I can build a house from the ground up. Done it... plumbing, wiring and all. And I'm pretty fair at building furniture and just about anything else I've ever put my mind to. But when it comes time to repairing something around the house, I'm like a fish out of water. I just got my butt kicked by a dryer hose. Old dryer went out so I had to hook up another one. Piece of cake, right? Wrong! The old hose was so old it cracked if you looked at it. So off to Lowes for a new one. No problem, right? Wrong! Hooked it up and couldn't get the dryer to go back far enough... and this one is SMALLER! Sheesh! Back to Lowes for more parts. I've been up and down so many times I feel like a yoyo. None of the parts would work. Remember that vinyl or nylon flex hose for dryers? You can't buy it anymore. Only thing available is flex aluminum. There is some thing walled stuff that is more of a lint trap than a hose, but it would work, but I just couldn't do it. Finally after two hours (not counting trips to the store) and 8 configurations I have it connected. And it just barely fits in the space. My knees hurt... anybody got an aspirin? And I was supposed to bowl tonight. [V]
