Raising the bar in home repairs
The Mister pulled the back off of our dryer when 14YO reported it was making a weird noise. We were expecting something was interfering with a belt. We were right, but we were not expecting it to be a poor electrocuted 'possum. Seems it crawled up the exhaust vent from the outside and met a sad fate. It was awful for everyone concerned. It had been gone from this world for some days and it's mortal remains... well, they didn't smell like a daisy. Now our hot water heater is acting up. Frankly, if a home repair doesn't involve a dead 'possum, these days it seems like a breeze.
