It doesn't take much to get paint to peel -- a few months of ignoring a leaky detergent bottle was probably enough. Remember, it was 12 years old!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15729511504280715449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554390.post-34596047867676241582010-11-10T08:56:20.868-08:002010-11-10T08:56:20.868-08:00I wonder what kind of chemicals you use in your ho...I wonder what kind of chemicals you use in your household that can cause this type of damage to the surface of your dryer....

That's wonderful :) I hope ours last...12 years! That's wonderful :) I hope ours lasts that long. I'm sure that even though it was a little sad, the dryer knew how hard you tried to keep him (her?) around, what with the propping the door closed and all. What dryer did you end up getting?Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18323173480722893252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554390.post-14180546776624508342009-12-19T15:20:22.403-08:002009-12-19T15:20:22.403-08:00"Sorrow, thy name is like the broken string u..."Sorrow, thy name is like the broken string upon olden dryer"<br />"Like tubes connecting one to air, A paddle to keep thy dryer closed"<br />"A pain in the backside, Thou art to some to be compared to the dreary loathing of hanging thine own clothes, and returning only to thine clothes wet"<br />"Hope, thy name speaks of the day thy gains a new dryer"<br /Perrin S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06193935533386611584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554390.post-53211154980798826282009-12-18T08:50:11.172-08:002009-12-18T08:50:11.172-08:00Awwwwwwwwwww, goodbye old friend!
