Spelunking.....
Jan. 27th, 2014 10:33 amI spent part of yesterday caving on a treasure hunt on an archeological expedition chasing the holy grail digging out my closet.
Rob finally was able to get back over to resurrect our dryer, which after a new set of relays and an igniter once again dries clothing! The amount of dust, dirt and unmitigated debris we found once we opened the dryer was frightening. It's a damn good thing it was not working, or there could have been a fire. While he was working on the machine's innards, I vacuumed, wiped down and cleaned off/out the front panel, and then turned the vacuum on the inside of the machine. The odor of burning dust once the machine was running again was a bit alarming, but as Rob said it would be very short lived. He also redrilled the heavy plastic piece that held the lint filter in place, which had come loose and despite every thing that I did to keep it in place, continued to do so. That problem, now fixed, was likely why the insides was so damned filthy.
I've since done 3 loads of wash, which have been folded and put away.
So, the 4x's are no longer part of my wardrobe. Those shirts have been culled from the from the herd. Well almost all of them. There are some heavy weight denim shirts I'll hold on to for a bit, to toss over another shirt as a light jacket. I've got a whole slew of Levi Denim shirts the next size down from my current (3X), I hope to be in by spring.
AND I finally found the 48's, or at least some of them. Three pair of Lands End jeans have been found and 3 pair of Dockers.
That means tonight when I get home, I get to work on pants to start culling that part of the herd.
After I go to the gym.
