Handy around the house

Today, I taught myself how to open up my dryer to see if lint that has escaped the lint trap is causing it to not dry as well. Yay for a combination of internet, screwdrivers, and socket wrenches! The boyfriend wandered in while I was halfway through, and commented "I knew there was a reason I kept you around". There was a solid layer of lint over everything, but there weren't drifts. I wiped it down with a microfiber cloth and put everything back together (though that part also involved more swearing). Also, the cabinets on either side of the washer/dryer nook are at exactly the right height to bang my head on while trying to do this sort of thing.

If clothes still come through a cycle while being wet, I'm going to try and find and clean the electrodes.

I also sliced through a few layers of skin on the middle and ring finger of my left hand. Not sure how. Rubbing alcohol and bandages have been applied to keep it clean, even though there wasn't much bleeding.
