There was a terrible rain storm last night. I heard it pounding on the roof while I was reading and falling asleep. I think it scared Danny. He barked at it.
We got up early and it had cleared up. We went for our walk around the mobile park. I got ready and went to the exercise class at the church. Frances was back. She had had surgery on her thyroid. She had complications and has been absent from church for several weeks. I'm not sure what happened but she talks with a raspy voice. I hope she gets better.
After lunch, I walked Danny and didn't feel very well all day. I decided to pack up and go home to Vineland a day early. I thought I might be coming down with something and wanted to be here if I needed to see my doctor. As I was checking all the rooms, I went into the little blue bedroom and there was a horrid smell like something was dead. I look all around and I think it was coming from the heat duct. I took off the cover and cleaned it out. I must have missed that one when I cleaned the others. There were metal things that closed the cover in there and enough screws to supply a hardware store. I then took the vacuum cleaner to it and heard a clunk go up the hose but I don't know what it was. The smell was making me sick so I put the cover back on and left. Now I'm wondering if that was what was making me not feel well. My eyes were burning and itchy. I feel somewhat better now that I'm away from there. I'll see how I feel tomorrow. I'll have to take my other shop vac down there. The hose on it is thinner that the one I have there and may be able to reach further into the duct. I hope I don't have to call a heating contractor to fix it.
Danny was barking at the furnace but I didn't see anything there. There was a crack in back of the furnace that went down through the floor. I wonder if a mouse got in there. It will be difficult to seal that up.

Posted by tedkarol at December 3, 2009 10:56 PMDear Karol, It might not have been a mouse. It could have been a snake that got stuck. That happened to us once. Also we had a sloth get into the house once before we sealed every crack around the house and foundation. So who knows what might be caught there. I'll say a prayer it's nothing serious. Thinking about you. Thought about calling to see if you wanted to find a day to go up to Longwood Gardens to see the Christmas display. Take care. Affectionately, Cheryl

She had him come and get it out. My niece's husband, Ed said the best thing to do is replace the ducts as it is easy to do.
