Well Pete, is sure sounds like carpet is the sensible way to go. I, of course, will be most pleased when I visit, what with my sensitive little Pisces feet thing that makes trodding across hard floors barefoot and even in double socks an exercise in pain management. :-) And carpet those nasty...

Awww shucks. Thanks guys. Say, you're all mostly around my age - what a keen & nifty surprise. I am honored! Being so, and if you know a Pisces in your life, you'll understand why I single out every declared Pisces over at my first home Vacuumland with best wishes, a cake and a goofy tidbit or...

Not a fan of the small decorator ceiling fans either but something had to be done about pushing the warm air down from the central room's 11' ceilings in winter, so I made 4.5 foot balanced blades for this motor unit I hang the fixture from. It rotates at a slow quiet speed and does not vibrate...

Most delightful packing job I ever opened. In this case however I was grateful for the care taken. The seller went above and beyond my recommendations to protect this treasured beauty - a stellar 1959 Garland Green Hoover Constellation Model 87 with working electric hose. Dave

Wise and valid points about bagging styro and lightly taping But isn't ferreting out wayward pieces of styrofoam from the new2you vacuum's orifices and channels half the fun? Before turning it on? And then blowing out the hose so you can watch the cats chase the bits around the room? Ok maybe...

Felix is very happy to have a new box to snooze and acrumble about in. Dave.

Both the Canadian and USA Westys are complete!

A Westinghouse Juicer Bowl, reamer, pulp screen, spigot, original cardboard packing forms, fibre packing pads, tissue and Users Manual.

More pillows and bubblewrap coddling the treasured items. And what is so precious inside this original carton?

Inner box revealed floating in secure comfort.

Box is stuffed to bursting with plastic bags and air pillows so that no side of the inner original box can contact the shipping carton.

A Grand Un-Boxing The real point to this posting is that today I found this carton on my doorstep. I know what is inside and am already most pleased with the packing. Every box seam is taped against the dreaded Box Burst.

In the end after 2 months of wrangling with the seller and then putting the case in the hands of Ebay Paypal Dispute console I was refunded 90% of the purchase + shipping and got to keep the vacuum. Being molded of GE's Cyclac plastic there is no way to glue or 'weld' these pieces together so...

Joe, I know that feeling when you open a box of shattered glass...or worse. I do hope the mixer itself is ok and as you now know, orphaned bowls are fairly plentiful 'out there'- I doi howp you are all fixed up again. I have been fortunate that 99% of sellers I have explicitly instructed about...

This morning the winds have died down and the temp is still 17 F (-8 C). Supposed to warm up to 20 F with sun the rest of the week but no more snow. Oh boy, I'm gonna go to the Zellers' Restaurant out at the Mall for lunch, then do pinwheels in the parking lot...just to test the ABS braking, of...

My little cottage is now 106 years old but the double brick construction keeps it warm & cozy against winter winds and holds the cool in summer. It leaked like a sieve from everywhere the first 20 years I've lived here but when I had the whole house freshly painted a few years back I spent weeks...

insides. So, because of this thread I went googling for waffle recipes for this Sunday's morning treat. I have a jug of genuine local maple syrup that needs cracking open. Now lets learn how to make waffles! You will need: - 2 cups of all purpose flour, - 2 teaspoons of baking powder, - some...

Favorite food treat of all time is Dad's Grilled Cheese sandwiches on Saturdays, speckled inside with real bacon shards & dunked in a Mustard Ketchup Horseradish 'dipping sauce'. It was my job to watch the temperature dial for the optimum squashing moment. Mom's Eaton's Department Store...

The Westinghouse is waffles only but the Sunbeam has removable plates to become a Grilled Cheese press for Four. Missing one of the Sunbeam plates so Pete...?

I'm going to plead waffle ignorance here as I have never made them. And yet like a magpie anything gleaming shiny with few to no dents just has to hop in the back seat and come home with Papa Crow. Westinghouse and Sunbeam
