What kind of heating do you have in the house? Any direct duct lines between your room and any other? I could hear my son through the ducts when he was talking, and our rooms are a floor apart and offset (he wasn’t directly under us).
My breath smells like beer.
There’s duct running into this room. I usually kept it blocked. I didn’t wanna cool and heat a room we didn’t use. They’re open now. No telling what’s been loitering about in there.
Hmm? How do you clean duct work?
Now I’m worried.
Already?
You send in a small child, covered with Swiffers.
The little grandsons are round. They’d get stuck.
The grandgirls will be here soon.
Yes! This may work.
I foresee a future MPSIMS thread, entitled, “Bad, bad, bad kenobi_65! (Or, how my grandwrek got stuck in the ductwork.)”
Nah, don’t worry. They skinnybones.
Shorten that to “Bad, bad, bad kenobi_65! (Or, how my grandwrek got stuck in the duct” - it almost rhymes.
I’ll tie a rope to their ankles.
Oh, crap. I just thought about the multitude of spiders that may live in there.
Aaaaccckkk!
friends to keep them company after they get stuck! Win-Win!
You want those spiders. They keep the fly population down.
I have this. It keeps me company because I don’t listen to a radio or TV day and night. The biggest sound at night is my blood pulsing through veins next to my ear. Really irritating some nights.
As any spelunker knows, feet first in to tight spots where you don’t what’s on the other side. I’d loop the rope under their armpits.
I was reading about the way they used to clean chimney flues and it would work. Gather a bunch of holly into a ball, tie it to a long rope and then load it into the duct work and push the holly ball with a very long stick, then pull it out again. It will bring pet hair, soot, dust and spiders out with it.
Mr. W says there’s a company you call and they bring this giant vacuum cleaner and suck out the gunk in the duct system.
Seems a rather niche company. I mean it’s not likely any person would know or care about clean duct. And it’s not likely you’d ever be a repeat customer.l, if you knew.
I predict they won’t be in business long…I’d better call quick.
You’ll be surprised how much pet hair will get vacuumed from the vents.
I’ve been in houses where my eyes watered and nose twitched when the heat came on. The dust or hair was triggering my allergies.
Stanley Steemer does duct cleaning. And they’ve been around for quite a while.
