[Shop-talk] dryer squeak

[Mark J Bradakis]

This will be of no help to you whatsoever, but that's not going to stop me.

Some time ago I was helping a friend of mine get caught up with his HVAC business
as a general grunt. The new construction jobs were nice, the remodeling jobs were
pretty dirty.

Anyway, I threw some of my work clothes into the washer, then the dryer. Started
the dryer and about a minute later there was a TERRIBLE screeching sound. Turns out
that a long, self tapping sheet metal screw didn't go into the pouch on the tool belt
but into a pocket of my jeans. Made it through the washer, but fell out in the dryer
and got stuck on the edge of the drum. Luckily it didn't take too much disassembly
of the trusty old Maytag to fix.
