jedi niece (age 4) kept telling her mom (jedi sis) that the bird does not like it when she uses the dryer. That the bird sings when she is in the basement.
Sis ignored her and kept telling her there are no birds in the basement.
Last week sis calls to say the dryer is taking forever to dry stuff. She put in a small load of kitchen tland towels and 2 hours later they are still not dry.
Hum...
Bad dryer? No its about 4 years old.
Did she ever clean the dryer vent hose. Nope.
So jedi opens the vent cover on the outside of the house and suprise!
A bird's nest and a bird as well.
She should of listened to the kid.
Old cover was just a single lap leading to the 4" pipe.
New cover is 3 smaller flaps and a wire mesh.
That freeloading bird has to go find a different spot to make his heated home.
