Today was the day I devoted to preparing the last bedroom for renovations. But, in order to "get in there", I must relocate TONS of stuff. I have to dismantle 2 4 poster beds, etc,,, move ALL of the Hoovers out of one room, and switch out everything. That meant, Emptying out 2 rooms of all things Hoover. I found things LONG forgotten about. I could almost rent out space to store/display them. Floorwasher, (both yellow and blue). J C Penney vacs, Bicentennial vacs, denim vacs, Pixies, Constellations, Flairs, Convertibles, both plastic and metal, Larks, Stick vacs, plus BOXES upon BOXES of attachments, polishers, etc. I almost died when I realized everything that was staring at me. There are a few things I should thin out. There are multiples ( duplicates, triplicates, etc. For example: I counted 5 model 69s, 6 model 70s Windtunnels, Oh my !! Some I will give to people. Some, I'll sell. You'd have to be an idiot to just discard them. Soon, there will be some put up for sale.
When I can post pics, I will. I just thought I'd share how I spent "Good Friday". | ||

Mark, funny you should mention that.
I DID find some Penncrest polishers and Hoover Pixie lookalikes... in their boxes. There is also a JCPenney Dial-A-Matic powerdrive. I also unearthed a Hoover Heavy Duty upright from the Vault (compliments of Dick Pike).
I'm tickled to see these things again. I can't wait to be able to post pics again. (IF you'd all like to see them). | ||
