My dryer has not been drying correctly lately. I was commenting to my husband that I have to run the dryer at least twice to dry a load. Today, I decided to pull the dryer out and clean the lint hose. We have had the dryer a year and it is probably time. I pulled the dryer out and climbed back behind it. Pulled the hose off the dryer. And stuck my hand in the vent. I hit something that was rather hard (I was expecting a handful of soft lint). Not being able to see into the hose and not knowing what creature maybe lucking inside, it scared me and I ran the hose outside as fast as I could. Funny how it took a lot less time to get out from behind the dryer than it took to get back there. ;-) Outside, it was discovered that a bird had built a nest and layed her eggs inside my dryer vent hose. The kids loved it. I hated to destroy all the hard work that the bird did building the nest, but the eggs had been bounced out of the nest by the time that I got it outside. Also, I realized that when the bird came back for the nest, she would be flying straight into the house instead of into the dryer vent hose. Needless to say, we cleaned out the dryer vent hose and the dryer is back in working order. |
