My daughter called me the other evening plus she was almost in tears, as a father, I worry about her safety when she is out baby sitting so I instantly thought the worst… But then the story came out.
Apparently she was playing with Mr! Opa’s very valuable gold watch once the youngsters were asleep, however she knew she wasn’t supposed to touch it although she did plus now it is down the cooling system vent, then i had a million questions on how this happened although I skipped them plus asked, instead, when the Opas would be home.
My daughter said in 2 hours. Of course I grabbed my tools plus rushed to their home. Sure enough, I could see the watch down inside of the air duct for the A/C plus heating when I used my flashlight. Thankfully, I was able to remove the vent cover, use my grabber tool, plus extract the watch. It appeared to be in perfect condition. Both of us then upgraded the vent cover plus I left before the lake house owners returned. I barely made it back lake house when my daughter called plus said she was ready to be picked up. She didn’t say anything more about the watch so I hope all went well. I also hope she l gained a very valuable lesson: don’t play with things that aren’t yours. And, always have a few tools on you just in case, however you never suppose when you have to do an emergency air duct cleaning to retrieve something you shouldn’t have been touching in the first locale. I suppose I will get her a little tool set to carry in her wallet.
