![]() It's finally time to attack the spare rooms! There are tons of items I must organize, etc all of this Hoover stuff. There are 3 rooms full of things. I've decided to finally group all like items, photograph, etc so I'll know what to keep, sell ,give, etc. I'll post lots of pics of before, during and after. For example, I'll gather all of the Handivacs, pixies, Connies, etc. Last, but certainly not least, the massive 'array' of Convertibles. It'll be therapeutic and fun. Pics to follow very soon. |

maybe let the new carpenter know there's nothing to fear if he hears noises from within the walls, just friendly ghosts coming in to keep warm. |

![]() Comments have been made in the past form others who did work here. One, "Craig", will never return. I've heard other workers talking to each other. Comments like: "What was THAT"? Did YOU hear that? THAT wasn't here a little while ago. "JESUS", and, "What's with the vacuums? "Don't ask" was the response. LOLOL I guess it's time to shake things up again. |

![]() It's making me remember things, events, and people...some good, some great, some not so good. But, there should be some things in these rooms that might help others. The wiring and windows have all been replaced in this room. I'll be able to hang drywall, and install gorgeous hardwood floors. ...taking something not too nice, and making it beautiful. I've done that throughout the entire house. |

![]() Their food, litterboxes, etc are there. It's the safe place they can go when construction has been done, or, large crowds of people were here. During my mini meets, They're be up there, safe. After dinner, they would come downstairs and mingle. It WAS the 'maid's room', yrs before we lived here. It's a 20' X 25' room, above the kitchen. It WILL be restored and used as their apartment plus the 'gallery'. Hopefully, Mr. Fountain will be here shortly to do the things I cannot. I'm getting inspired again.

I don't really like the Slimlines, Portables, Connies or any of the older Hoover straight suction canisters. I currently do not have any of those in my collection aside from a family member's green Slimline in the box.
However, I'm totally with you on the convertibles especially the 60 series. 66, 67, 68, 69. I used a 589 at another house and one of my 69s at mine. Hoover got it right on the attachments aside from low suction. My favorite attachment is the wall/bare floor tool that came with the 65 and up. Its brushes are full and it's so easy to click in the converter to go from carpet to dusting and catching a couple of cobwebs on the wall and dog hairs on a bare floor. Yesterday, my electric shaver slipped out of my hands and landed on the tile floor in my bathroom. I grabbed my 69, ultraflex hose, telescoping wand and floor/wall tool already assembled and my 69 got the shaver's contents up in seconds. Yes, the tool suction on the convertibles is not the best. In my opinion the quality of the older Hoover tools makeup for this and are designed to take advantage of the available suction. And both genuine and generic C bags are still freaking everywhere even in 2023. I just bought a bundle of C bags and belts at the thrift store yesterday. |

![]() Yes, indeed. I didn't see him there. He's the original "Inspector 12". My "Murphy" is almost 18 yrs old, and is starting to 'shrink'. Poor little guy. A wonderful pet, indeed. He goes nuts when he sees all of this stuff....gets into everything!!!!!
Yes, that Concept II is a very powerful machine. That's going to Hazleton. I have a bout 3 Concept IIs. |

![]() laundry 'sets' in various colors. I'm glad to have one set, actually. Getting them upstairs was a feat. People have seen them, and will during some sort of a 'revamped mini meet'. When I invite people, they come. When they say they will, they actually do. The get in their cars, drive here, visit, enjoy hospitality, and then, go home. Even my close, close friend, Tom Anderson (responsible for the washer), said he'd come for the convention. Due to a family commitment, was unable. BUT... came the week before. He was a great help. He said he would... and actually did. a 6 hour drive. (well, 4.5 for him). :)
So, yes, another laundry set in a different color (than white), would be nice. |
