Things in 3

Things really do happen in threes.  At least for us, it seems, that is the rule of thumb.  Remember back in September/October when we were redoing the flooring?  The washer went out, then the refrigerator, then the flooring issues.  Well it's happened again.

First our garage door wouldn't open last Wednesday.  I'm pretty sure one of the springs broke and so we have a manual garage door for a while.  Then Saturday night, I randomly decided to check the dryer before going to bed.  The back of the dryer was on fire....Yes, the gas dryer had flames in the back of it.  And finally, Scott's back windshield shattered on his drive to work on Monday morning. 

So, as it stands the garage door will most likely need to be replaced.  It's old, rusted and we get a nice puddle inside the garage on one side.

With the dryer, we need a new one.  After I blew out the flames and we googled what to do when your dryer is on fire, we called the Fire Department.  They arrived quickly and checked to see if there was any heat coming off of it and unplugged it for us.  We were very lucky nothing worse could have happened.  But that didn't stop our us from thinking of all the possibilities of what could have happened.  And it will be happy dryer shopping for us this weekend.

We've already replaced the back windshield.  There was no way we could have waited another day.  It actually caved in once Scott arrived at the repair shop.  Hopefully, we won't have to replace anything else in our house for a while.
