I am not known for my mechanical skills. If you give me enough time, clear enough instructions and a large enough budget I can eventually get something done. And of course necessity is always an encouragement.
We have been trying to get into our new home. It is not finished. The shower in one bathroom is tiled and plumbed but the soap dishes are in the shower that is not ready. The rooms we are going to sleep in don’t have any window coverings. We can work around that but there are other issues. One of them was a show stopper for my wife. We brought our washing machine from California but had to buy a used electric dryer. The problem we ran into was that the dryer had a four prong plug and the wall had a three prong. Electricity scares me. 200 scares me even more. Our builder promised to take care of it but time is passing and we are moving regardless. My wife is frantic so I Googled the issue.
On the internet it looks pretty simple. I convinced myself that I would not electrocute anyone. I know that circuit breakers are supposed to keep that from happening. I bit the bullet, fetched my tool box and leaned over the appliance.
I think I was successful. The drum rotates, I felt heat and I am still alive.
If I was not successful this blog may stop suddenly in the next few days.
