Been doing a huge amount of work around the house lately in the holidays.

Currently power washing the pavers out back and filling the joins with sand. Should be more fun tomorrow.

    This is the opposite of Dull. This is one of the most interesting things I’ve seen today.

    First off, building laundry shelves is awesome, I’ve been dreaming of making improvements to my laundry room for almost 5 years now, and I still haven’t done it. So heck yeah man that’s awesome.

    Secondly, that upside down wall mounted dryer is blowing my mind! Like what the heck! I didn’t know you could do that! Does that work? Do you just get used to all the labeling being unreadable? That’s insane! I mean, I get it, it puts the door closer to the ground, but I never would’ve thought that would work. Does it dry better or worse than if it were right side up? Does the lint trap still trap lint as well or do your clothes end up a little more… Fuzzy? Idk how to even tell if one dryer leaves more lint on clothes than others.

    I’m so intrigued.

      Thanks!

      Well to try and answer your questions:

      • It does work
      • Its not really unreadable so its fine
      • I think it dries the same, I’d have to ask my other half
      • The lint trap still works well because its vented so the air still passes through it

      We’ve been using it the right way up for years so lint had collected in the botton of the actual unit and when I mounted it upside down that all fell through the unit body. It did cause it to smell like burning fabric for the first 30 mins running it upside down down but I just stood next to it with a fire extinguisher until it “burnt off” the smell you could say.

      Now been running perfectly with no burning smell for 10ish loads of laundry!

        Hah! That’s funny that it had to burn off the old lint. That’s pretty dang cool that it can be used that way.
