Each day, we'd cleaned out that day's section and do one more re-match before we sorted it to the monthly bin (which was cleaned monthly). We held items for three months before we trashed, held, or sent the item to charity.

    It was very possible that things could fall back behind our shelving units and be lost.

I was told by the CM that I would not want that back even If they could get it. At least not to use with our DD after being in that water. I agreed, the water was probably pretty icky.

    A fun time portal for sure!
