hi all,

last night i noticed the basement air return air filters had one missing. they are under the entrance steps. i figured it had sucked it up because the airflow to the front vents was down to almost nothing.

i looked and didnt see anything in the plenum. so richard and steve came over early this morning and was able to see the filter stuck deep in the plenum. so richard made a grabber out of coat hangers and got it out. if it wouldnt have been there, it would have required pulling the basement air unit out. the guys at newell talked me through how to remove it this morning but thankfully i didnt have to.

thanks to richard and steve.

then i made a trip to ace and got a stainless rod that i cut into two pieces and ran it through the filter element so i could use them to wedge it in the space with NO possibility it could ever get sucked in again.
