I took the accordion blinds off the kitchen window and thought Iwould wash them and see
if they were salvagable. I put some laundry soap in the tub and turned on the water.
Came back to the computer to read a little more and guess what.........yep, I forgot
about the water running in the tub. Of course its overflowing, water even in the hallway,
area rugs all soaked and the water ran down into the heater floorvent. The floorvent
was full!! grabbed some towels of course and started cleaning up, in the bottom of the
vent is another vent that is about two inches wide and goes down into the understorage.
I grabbed the package of feminine pads and folded one lengthwise and shoved it down
the hole, sopped up a bunch of water and kept doing this until I could get no more
water out. Went out and opened my understorage bay door and looked for damage,
the water dripped out and the carpet is wet but none of my stuff is wet. So, for now
the bay door stays open, the bathroom door stays shut and the bathroom fan is running
to help pull out the humidity in there. I've also shoved a towel under the door to help
seal it off cause the a/c is gonna kick on soon.
What a mess!! multi-tasking isn't always the best way to do things
The blind did come clean btw, although it is still a tad yellowed. Will hang it out in the
sun to dry and see if the sun does any natural bleaching. All the ones in the livingroom
bedroom,
and diningroom are still white, only the two in the kitchen are yellowed.
