Can't link elr on here, ecf has the links blocked on the forum, but thanks for the offer though, it's not a very impressive list compared to many here :)

That doesn't work.

I know, realized once posted, so edited it out.

I forgot ecf blocks elr links, can't remember why they block them, is a PITA they do though.

Yeah, can suck at times.

    Somewhere between here and there
    My wife informed me this morning that the dryer wasn’t drying. I pulled it out and cleaned the vent the best I could and got a bunch of lint out of the pipe. It’s on an interior wall so the pipe goes up and then out. Not an ideal set up. I just cleaned it a few months ago but must not have gotten it good enough. I need to get a vent pipe cleaning kit. I used my fish tape for pulling wire. I’m going to take a second try at it and see if I get any more out.

    Ours is the same way and with the humidity here we have to have someone come out every year to clean it. It goes straight up through the roof.
    We have one of the self reamer things but just can't pull the dryer out anymore ourselves to use it.
    (and the washer and dryer are up on a 4" ledge that has to be hoisted over and back again...so not just sliding it out)
    It's a pretty stupid set up and a good way to cause a house fire.

    Also take the lint filter and give it a good scrubbing - soap and brush.
    If you use dryer sheets it leaves a film on the mesh and blocks airflow.


    I added some base to the mix...I think I have the cake batter where I want it but now I have to work on the coconut. (yes, I am making notes)

    Thanks for the advice. The next time I go to the hardware store I’m going to buy a brush cleaning kit for the pipe. I think I got it good for now. I might have to get out the ladder and go up and clean the vent. We do use dryer sheets and I didn’t know that.

    classwife So almost 5 years later, both users have clearly moved on, and the vast majority of ECF DIY'ers are still suffering from the silly acts of one. :(


    It's still the owner of that site that did/caused this...but...I've already asked :p - we'll see what happens.
