Progress in the House has Stalled (Day 3513 - 7/8/19)

The new dryer they got on Day 3482 started making strange high pitch squeals. Stephen says that it's still under warranty and they also got an extended warranty for it from Costco. Mallory decided to contact LG yesterday who said that they would send out a repair man today. Stephen says that a good tip when having problems with appliances is to record of a video of the problem since there have been a lot of times where they called a repair man and couldn't replicate the problem. No one has called them about the repair man coming, and he hopes they come during the time window given since they haven't had the best luck with repair people coming on time.

Stephen then talks about how on Day 3484 they had issues with water damage on the walls from the rain and asked the rental company on a weekly basis to fix it. They found out today that it was already fixed while they weren't at home and they were just never told that it was fixed. Stephen says that they decided to put the curtains up for the living room windows. He put the curtain rod up, but he apparently put it too close to the window. Stephen says that he likes the light that comes in, but doesn't want the light to always be coming in through the window.

Today, he has been editing vlogs from when they just moved into this house. Stephen says that they took time off work to pack and unpack stuff. However, they have been busy with worked recently, so the progress on the house has stalled. He hopes that they will eventually get to the point where they are able to have a day off on Sundays again, so they can unpack more stuff.

Later, the repair guy came and the dryer wasn't making the high pitched sound, so they ended up showing him the video of the dryer making the noise. The repair guy says that it was set up and mounted correctly. So, he thinks that something may have been lodged in the dryer like a coin or a wire from a bra. He says that whatever was stuck may have dislodged itself yesterday, so that's maybe why the dryer is not making the high pitched noise. He did tell them that recording a video of the problem was a good idea, and that it actually happens pretty often where he gets called to fix a problem and the problem somehow disappears when he gets there. Mal says that he checked everything and even taught them how the dryer functions. The dryer also doesn't make any noise now.

Mal got the curtains up in the living room. The curtains were in the bedroom and office at their old house. But, these curtains don't block light well so they decided to put them in the living room and get better ones for the bedrooms. They then talk about how the curtains in the office are a high density black-out curtain that doesn't let any light through. Stephen says that they have a lot of bookshelves now and doesn't know what he'll do with them whenever they move again. However, he says that it will be a long time before they want to move again.
