    I don't know how long you plan on being closed but January in Missouri is one of the busy months in the year if we get snow. This week should be good for you so if you can wait you might be better off.

    Foam Brush Foamer Cartridge Replacement

    How about using a porous bag filled with B.B.'s. Wouldn't the B.B.'s agitate the liquid the same as scrubbies? I would think that the weight of the B.B.'s would not move and plug the end. Just a thought.

    DVR Vault

    Earl I'm not sure but how about an online backuo company such as Carbinite.com. There are others that do the same thing. They backup all your work automatically but I'm not sure they can backup video. It might be worth checking into.
