You got a shop vac?
kjhokie • 02/04/26 07:02 PM ET
I tried with our regular vacs detachable hose. May try again.**
JoesterVT • 02/04/26 08:07 PM ET
Technically until that's back on her finger, she's fair game
Nova Hokie 95 • 02/04/26 03:49 PM ET

bourbonstreet • 02/04/26 07:34 PM ET
You sure she dropped in there? **
Vtskier1 • 02/04/26 03:30 PM ET
When you get it back, make sure she attaches one of these to it.
EDGEMAN • 02/04/26 03:17 PM ET
Holeee crap, howTH does that happen!?!?!?**
astrohokie • 02/04/26 03:09 PM ET
Like most tragic disasters, several things had to go wrong simultaneously
JoesterVT • 02/04/26 03:18 PM ET
I was snorkeling in French Polynesia and reached down to pull fins off
DonHo-kieHi • 02/05/26 12:11 AM ET
Wait, your wife shovels snow??
Spudnut • 02/04/26 06:39 PM ET
My wife, a friend, and I circa 2016 shoveled 900 feet of driveway
VaTechie • 02/04/26 09:45 PM ET
Whoaaaa **
astrohokie • 02/04/26 05:22 PM ET
"Seconds From Disaster" - that has a nice ring to it.**

Buy a box of these and then go at it.**

vt90 • 02/04/26 03:01 PM ET
Maybe drop your wife down there too?**
Brown Water • 02/04/26 02:37 PM ET
First of all, turn off your furnace until you find it.
PhotoHokieNC • 02/04/26 02:27 PM ET
Just hope it didn't hit the arc of the duct and rollllll, aka, my luck.
TomTurkey • 02/04/26 02:35 PM ET
My fear as well....**
JoesterVT • 02/04/26 02:36 PM ET
she dropped it, not you. Tell her it's her problem, not yours. **
RhinoVT • 02/04/26 02:09 PM ET
I think you misunderstood the assignment
JoesterVT • 02/04/26 02:37 PM ET
May be too late, Sir Galahad. You start out behind the 8 ball.**

^^^ Answer from an obviously unmarried man^^^ **
Stork • 02/04/26 02:35 PM ET
you should be able to go into the crawl space, disconnect the flex ductwork
Chesapeake_Hokie • 02/04/26 02:06 PM ET
This. And Joester will be the man tonight. And rewarded for his efforts. **
Stork • 02/04/26 02:08 PM ET
It'll have to wait a day or three....not going under there in today
JoesterVT • 02/04/26 02:25 PM ET
If you cannot disconnect the duct,
HOKIE • 02/04/26 02:29 PM ET
And if it's a really old house, be sure any ductwork isn't asbestos. **
PhotoHokieNC • 02/04/26 02:37 PM ET
I have a borescope that you can attach a magnetic hook on the end
Spudnut • 02/04/26 01:58 PM ET
Only 2 days away through Amazon**
EDGEMAN • 02/04/26 03:13 PM ET
I used a scope and couldn't see it. Magnet wouldn't work on gold anyway.**
JoesterVT • 02/04/26 02:05 PM ET
If you only paid $80 for the band, a magnet may work. **
D-Day • 02/04/26 02:14 PM ET
Lol...like I said, '03.…and this is a plain, thin 14k white gold band **
