We were laying in bed, and all was quiet. As we laid there, we began to listen in on a dripping sound. What is that? Is that the dogs making a noise? Is it a running faucet? I get up and turn the light on to see that the all the faucets are properly turned off in our room. I start to narrow down the sound to the vent in our room.
It's not uncommon to get field mice under the house. We live in what some would think is the middle of nowhere. However, it didn't have that scurrying sound, it had a water sound. What could that be?
Joe gets up to check Peyton's bathroom. What does he find? The toilet is overflowing. The culprit clogging the toilet? A wad of toilet paper the size of half a toilet paper roll. Aigh. I was all over the floor dripping into the air vent in the floor! Joe look in there, and we couldn't see exactly how much was in there.
"Is it deep enough to scoop out with a cup?" Joe asked. After about 7 scoops from Joe, he hands the cup over to me to inspect the other vents. After about 10 scoops from me, I say enough of this get the shop vac! I went into the over crowded garage and found it. I yanked it inside, only to have trouble remembering how to hook the hose up to suck instead of blow air.
Joe solved that issue, and I put the hose down the vent. Boom, what an amazing tool. There was enough water in there to fill the tank of the shop vac. WOW. It must have been dripping for most of the afternoon!!!
I have since removed the toilet paper rolls out of the bathroom. She now has to ask mom and dad for a tissue when going to the bathroom! The positive is that she is using the bathroom, but the negative is that we flood the bathroom! lol, so we have found the solution to make her understand just how much paper needs to go down the toilet!
Hah, I just had to share!
