First Sunday in January



We are sleeping in the living room because the bedroom down here still has the wall out and not ready for occupation and the two bedrooms upstairs continue to be compromised in some way or other.

The 'cowboy bedroom' upstairs is furnished but has no heat-A/C. Today Tom decided to figure out how the duct runs and what is the problem. Other ducts have been clogged with obstructions so he decided this was as good as any time to see what's up.

What can I say? The vent apparently was used as a trash can. A pair of flip-flops, box of crayons, math flash cards, a wallet with $$ money, FIOS remote control that still had good batteries, paper cups, juice boxes, a plastic Easter egg, plastic hanger, paper towels, used debris mask, DVD, miscellaneous other items and a used diaper. Also in the pile was the vent cover, too small to have held it's ground. Good grief!!

When re-doing the downstairs bathroom we were trying to get heat/A/C into that room, which had never, ever been vented before. We tapped into the duct that goes to the upstairs bathroom. If you remember that duct was clogged with socks and a towel. Same thing only different.

You think it is odd that our bed is in the living room? Really? What would you do? When I said this place had cooties, I was not exaggerating!
