but to continue...one of the things that gets in my ways of getting things done is power tools. i like power tools. maybe a little too much. but when using them i have to mind myself carefully. that is not to say i practice safety first. i dont because frankly i dont care enough to. it is not lazy as it for most people. it is not caring about my own safety. frequently i get less done then i intend because i start focusing on the damage i can do with whatever tool i am working with. once i realize i am doing this i will normally set all tools down and walk away until my head clears. some times it is a few minutes sometimes it is a few days.

on the other hand there have been numerous times where i have been using a tool and ended up just playing. the whole time thinking 'if a put a mic here an/or here i could get a clear sample of this noise' or something along those lines. what sound does this make against this or that or the other?

then there are the scraps of paper plastic wood whatever that have notes and diagrams for ideas for other things that had to get written down before i forget them. and sometimes i get so distracted by this that or the other thing i run out of working time or just completely forget what i was doing.

but then that happens with everything. a lot.

Ace® Dryer Heat Diverter

so i put in one of the heat diverters listed above and i am still getting a feel for it. i like the conservation of resource on these. every since i was a little kid i thought the heat from the dryer was just being wasted. so here is the answer for that problem. our dryer is in the garage so in these cold days the slight boost in warmth is welcome. and the garage is all snuggle fresh now. i would not have put it in if the dryer was in the house or we had a gas dryer but its not and we dont and so i did. the one issue with is that the location has to be better considered as it requires cleaning the screen after each use. if you decide to get one dont forget to a vent hose as you will need one on both sides. also buy a couple of metal vent hose clamps. it come with two plastic ones but they are better used as flexicuffs then clamps. but they are reusable. also be aware that the box states that in some areas installing it may be something callled a code violation. just so you know. another facter to consider when istalling it is that since it is coming off the dryer you do get moisture with the heat. not a lot but it is something you want to be aware of. and if you are wondering what happens in the summer well it has a door inside of it that opens and closes. its a pretty tight seal when closed too but the handle is flimsy so i would suggest pulling the screen to push it open rather then use the flimsy thing. this just went in so we shall see how it goes in six months.
