I just cannot win...

When we had the flood we soaked all our towels trying to get the water off the floor.

Once we had power we tried putting them in the drier to dry.

This broke the drier and clogged the vent with wet lint.

We called a drier repair person who fixed the thermastat, yet could not replace the vent (which wasn't to code) or clean the vent system.

We called a drier vent cleaning service, who cleaned the vent but didn't have a vent hose long enough to replace the whole tube (now we have to go to Home Depot and get one and install ourselves).

On top of not having a part, they cleaned the old tube by dumping all the wet lint into our "slop sink" (where the water from our washing machine drains).

Not noticing, I ran the washing machine this morning.

Which sent the lint down the drain.

Which clogged the sink.

Which made the sink over flow.

So now we have another mini flood in the basement.

Awesome.
