Hey, they built a wall that's lasted pretty long. Wonder if there's a warranty on that.

That’s what I did last year. Had these for many decades but they crapped out. Exchanged them and hope for the best.

Several years back already i tried to get my crapped out basic Craftsman 3/8" ratchet replaced at Sears but they said it was a no go, even though it was still an U.S.A. made...had it in my toolbox for several years, bothered me to the extent that I purchased the service kit on eBay, which sat on a different toolbox for years before the planets aligned and the two toolboxes collided and boom, the ratchet is as good as new. Unfortunately I have now lost track of which toolbox the fixed ratchet is in...and yes, I think the kit it was about $23 or something like that.

Easy install for the Lennox S40 thermostat. Using the technician app made it a breeze. Think Lennox finally fixed dumb complicated modules. Though the variable blowers and heat pumps need an over priced $800 controller. Going rate according to reddit is 2300 by the authorized installers, so its a win. Have another one to change soon since the downstairs thermostat is getting glitchy.
you aren't going to like the solution.....which you already know.
PS - you can borrow my concrete saw....
Anyone use a Rockwell Jawhorse or one of the copies? Worth it? The reviews seem good.
If you decide on getting one, I have one NIB I just haven’t gotten to posting-
Hit me up.
Will do. Need any new dancing shoes? I've got plenty of road, mountain and even a few pair of Winter shoes.

not as much a DIY as more of a PSA to clean your dryer vents.
I made a note and stuck it to the wall above the dryer last July when I did it last summer. Prior to that it had been waaay too long and the vent pipe was pretty clogged up to the point the clothes were taking too long to dry.
we had no drying issues so far this summer. The other day I pulled apart the vent pipe and was surprised to see it was relatively clear given that we are a family of 5 and do laundry pretty much every day.
I used the combination of one of those vent brushes, an old vacuum hose taped to my current vacuum hose and then a tik tok video idea i saw to clear out the residual lint with the battery powered blower (which I didn’t have last summer ).
Good for another year.

I've done this too... Actually, probably time for another blowout...

this may actually become my standard maintenance every few months now that I have the battery blower. Considering after a year it wasnt bad, its much less work to just disconnect at the dryer and blow it out than to take the vent pipes down from the basement ceiling.
by much less work I mean I can probably save 20 minutes of effort LOL.

do you mean the lint/debris that comes out? I blow it outwards towards the vent exit which is outdoors.
there wasnt much to collect if anything ended up under my deck since the vent was mostly clean when I finished the vacuuming.

Yep, under the rug wouldn't work in my house...
My neighbors will love this as my vent aims right at their driveway.
it shouldnt be THAT much different from when you run your drier . . . .

I have one of these...
..it seems to keep everythin under control, you just need to pull the tray out, clean it, put it back in. E installed it in preparation for a exhaust booster to go with it, bought it but never got around to install it... typical me!
At least we got the filter in and it works great.
