House Guests

When we got home from St. George a few weeks ago I started doing laundry and my dryer just did not smell right. I thought that it might be because we hadn't used it for so long so I wiped it out, washed the lint collector, and cleaned out the pipe in the back. None of this did what I wanted it to do so I hoped that after several uses it would just go away.

So last Saturday we went outside to put together the toy that Annette had gotten Cohen for his birthday and noticed that one of the flaps on the outtake vent from our dryer was missing. When we looked inside we noticed the makings of a nest!!

Paul and I finally got to taking care of it yesterday night and it was more than we bargained for. It took about 20 feet of pole to drag all of it out of the pipe and a couple hours, it was awful. We ended up finding 5 little blue eggs and it made me really sad, but what do you do.

After cleaning it out we put a new vent on that has a net in it so even if one of the flaps comes off nothing can get in there.




What a fricking nightmare!!!
