What a very interesting life your in-laws had!
My Wet-Jet mopping machine just gave up the ghost. I bought it in Tucson in 2005 for $19.95 and I’m surprised it has lasted so long. The padded handle gave out about six months ago, but today, the batteries didn’t die...the squirter died, so new batteries didn’t help.
I’m not sure what they cost now, but I won’t be able to get one in time for Shawn to clean in two weeks.
It’s all my fault, of course. I moved the rug so I could rest the sofa legs on it, so folks didn’t push it into the wall when they sat on it. It revealed a LARGE patch of dirt under the computer/chair area that I had to clean up. Me and my bright ideas.
However, it was good in one aspect. Shawn didn’t tell me the padded handle was almost off, and I wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t used it. Still, it could have waited until after Christmas...
