Some assholes broke into the cabin over the winter

[Roon]

and they took the fire extinguisher and sprayed the place down. Does anyone have any idea how to clean the fire extinguisher powder?

[struggle4progress]

1. Vacuum?

[Roon]

4. That's probably what i am going to have to end up doing

The cabin is solar powered so i would have to fire up the generator and use the shop vac..take the first layer off at least.

[ScreamingMeemie]

Oh Roon...I am so sorry.

Here's what we did. We vacuumed up as much as we could and then used a damp cloth to wipe everything down. For the stubborn spots we used a vinegar water mix. Make sure to wear gloves because that stuff can cause burns depending on what it is made of.

5. Thanks for the tip, screaming.

2. The one your uncle and cousin went to without you?

I don’t know how to clean it, but destruction for the sake of destruction is so irritating.

[Roon]

6. Yeah, the same cabin

They sure got a surprise, eh? Now I am glad I didn't go..LOL..but i am going this week-end sometime to help clean,

3. But you managed to save the love letters from John Cheever?

Sorry to hear about the vandalism, but it just reminded me of that Seinfeld episode where Kramer burns down the cabin with his cigar.

[Roon]

7. I remember that episode

that was too funny!

[gmoney]

8. seriously, check the manufacturer's website maybe?

they might have clean-up instructions there somehow.

[Roon]

11. I'll look into it

9. My Stepfather Had His Cabin Broken Into Three Years In A Row...

Probably by the same people (kids?). Then he put a big sign on the door; "CAUTION: Hibernating Venomous Snakes Inside" and for some reason it was never broken into again.

12. around here it's the homeless who come up from the city

during winter time and break into cabins to escape the elements. Our cabin has been broken into more times then we can count over the last 40 years. I remember packing up a B/W TV to take back into town so it wouldn't get stolen..LOL..

[Whoa_Nelly]

What the fuck makes people treat someone else's home like that?

There is something about the combination of testosterone poisoning and pack mentality that makes people really stupid and mean. :(
