Looking back on the dryer

It took three (or was it four?) days, unclogging the original vent, a roll of aluminum tape, two pairs of scissors, three trips to the hardware store, two different vents, two clamps, a second set of nuts and bolts, string, a black Sharpie, tipping the dryer over, putting it back together, and this special cutting tool.

But I got the dryer back in working order. And I loathed most every moment. I hope I don't have to do it again for YEARS.
