Just can't win

Attempted to hook up the dryer tonight, and it turns out that the metal vent pipe they gave us isn't positioned properly, it's off by about 1/2 inch vertically so we can't hook it up to the machine. Gotta get a flexible hose tomorrow night on the way home.

On the plus side, my pipe insulation and gas tube jiggling seems to have done the trick. HVAC has been quiet for 24 hours.
