Indeed, with our semi-annual plummbing calls, we ought to just buy one - but we're talking Dryer vent here right? so you've an abundance of lint? Ordinarily I'd think this an easy job to do, but I know in a condo, such vents might snake it's way through a building and have numerous twists and turns to navigate through. Considering the several hours I spent under our house one summer to make an "easy" repair on our dryer vent - I'd call a professional.

Hee hee...I say keep handing CP the yellow pages.

Ya know, in all of the years of renting, no repairman has ever said that to me. I wouldn't appreciate it if they had and I KNOW you definitely did not.

Well, karma on them when they had to give you one for free....

It all sounds so nice. Even the crappy stuff.

An ignitor switch costs how much???? Damn. Well, a nice new stove is on the way.

Quiet, you!

Yeah, yeah. We could just go buy the part and install it without calling a repair guy (that would be the $200 I guessed, which seems to be about the standard minimum to get anyone to your house to do anything). But screw it, it's a 20 year old piece of crap that doesn't match our kitchen. This was a good excuse to find room in the budget.

What we're finding as we go through doing the few little improvements that we had planned is...the previous owners were lazy turds. Everything they did was done half-assed. Things like the new floor just being slapped over the old floor. Or the fact that anywhere that should have 2 screws holding something on only has 1 screw. Most of the stuff is cosmetic, so it's not a big deal, but stil. So I'm really glad we're doing such a complete overhaul on the kitchen so at least one area of this place will have been done with an entire ass.

Good for you. My grandfather always told me, "If it's worth doing, do it right".
