No one really enjoys shovelling snow out of their driveway and sidewalk. But how about shovelling about five inches from the inside of a house? The home of a couple in Newell, Iowa got filled with snow while they were out of town. But some generous family members cleaned up the mess for them.
"We were out of town just for the weekend visiting our daughter in Chicago and her family and my husband had asked Jim, his brother, to check, make sure the furnace is running and see how the dog was we had left him in the garage," said Betty Ehlers. Strong blizzard winds pushed the door open, letting all kinds of snow make its way inside their house.
While Steve and Betty Ehlers drove back to their home near Newell, Iowa, Jim Ehlers and his wife spent the morning cleaning up the mess, which made its way into cupboards and closets, under doors and in drawers. When they got home, Jim and his wife had all the snow out of the house. The next day they saw the pictures.
Luckily, the damage done by mother nature is minimal, but they say it could have been worse. The couple says surprisingly they only have to replace a kitchen faucet and the flooring in the kitchen and hallway.
