Needs Fixin'

This would be our broken dryer. It's not in it's entirety I know, but after Rob came home the other night and we researched online how expensive it is to buy a new dryer, he went out into the garage, grabbed his tools and started taking apart our dryer. Although he has never done this before, it didn't stop my man! =) He just started unscrewing pieces and before you know it, he came inside and said, "I think we need a new belt", holding up a broken one. He looked online to see where we could get the part and he had to order it. $11.00 for a new belt beats $300.00 for a new dryer anytime!

What I thought was extremely adorable was how Lincoln followed him into the garage, sat down next to him and tried to help him fix it. Afterwards, he went into his room and started playing with his tools like a "little Daddy". Too cute!

Our next project after fixing our dryer will be to fix our ductwork in our attic. It's leaking out condensation BADLY and giving us major stains on our ceiling. Another do-it-yourself project, but I have faith in my amazing husband!

Still line-drying clothes, but there are worse things in life and it's been kind of fun. The kids love helping and then running through the tent-like structure. Norah just sits in her baby carrier and watches as I put up the clothes. Not to mention it's been beautiful out lately. Keepin' my chin up!

Yeah Rob!!! Now, come over to my house and fix the belt on my dryer!!! Actually - Mark the repair man fixed it early Tuesday morning, and he replaced the bearings as well. This morning I was walking the kiddos to school and and I bumped into Mark the repair man again! He stopped to let me and my gang cross the road and gave us all a big thumbs up!!
I hope you get your belt soon, and that Rob can fix it all reall good!!
