Things don't bring happiness.
I am complete and whole without further/more stuff.

Good luck on your new path.
Hello Colletors' anonomous?

TE HE HE HE HE HE *WHOSSSH*
Makes like pants and splits.
 
Oh Michael, and so it begins!!!!!!!!!!!!before you know it there will be more and more to keep it company!!!!! Be sure and keep us posted as to your progress as you restore this beauty. By the way I got my Kirby Dual 50 back from the "spa". I had taken it out to Tucson with me and took it to Roger's Kirby guy who made it look like the day it was sold!! I know that the one Greg has for you will turn out as well. Terry
 
Hi Michael. Congratulations! You got the bug! Glad to see you getting a collection started so you can enjoy vacuums any time you like.

Ross
 
uh oh...

What have I done?

I'm the Einstein that sent him that auction because the seller was 15 minutes from his house...

We may have to extend that room over the garage a bit hun!
 
You done-for now, Mishtah sistah.. *LOL*

Toggle......YOU ARE NUTS!!!!! LOL

you are right.....i must repeat those words!!
 
Kirby Dual 50

Terry.....Isn't it terrible. Jeff created a monster now!!! I'm glad to hear your Dual 50 turned out so nice!!! I can't wait to get mine. I will post pictures of it when Jeff and I start cleaning it up a bit. Hope you are doing well!!!!!

Michael
 
You got the bug

Ross,

Hello. Yes, I got the bug!!!! I tried to get a fly swatter but I couldn't find one big enough!! LOL I'm looking forward to getting it.

Michael
 
extend that room

yes dear.....it looks that way!!! LOL or maybe just build another section for vacs!!! LOL

see you tonight!!!
 
start seeing interesting vacs

Petek,

Yes....its already happening!!! I'm sure that this is not my last one!!! OH NO!!!!

Michael
 
Well Michael, you could not have picked a better place to start or a better brand to start with! The Hoover 700 is a classic for sure. I bet it runs like a top too. I know that Jeff will help you with the polishing and all of the little details. I hate to say it now, but you my friend are a collector! Now you just need to join the VCCC and post those great pictures on www.vacuumland.org and show it off. Congratulations on popping your cherry!!!LOL!!!

thanks for the words of encouragement!!

The bug has officially bitten

...and I knew it would sooner or later :)

Congratulations! Nice Model 700, it will look beautiful in no time!
 
Ah Michael, with people in your life like Jeff, and by extension Tom A., Fred and etc., your vacuum fun I know is only beginning. No one can have just one.

BTW, Jeff kind of started my collection as well. I told him about a denim Convertible I'd seen and he strongly suggested I go back to get it. The rest is history! I downsized a lot upon coming to Cali, but still have many nice Hoovers!
 
Its a slippery slope.....

Hey Michael

Greetings from over the pond.......

Seriously- being with Jeff you didnt think you could escape the obsession did you ;-)

Lol....

Seamus
 
Awww c'mon now...I'm not obsessed...much

Seriously, all I did was take Michael into Hooverland and turn the lights on, the rest is his! He thinks the hobby is cool, and really likes the old 1920's models. He's also definately an upright person. After buying me a Miele Champagne for Valentines day he vacuumed with it once and then proclaimed "I F**KING hate this thing"
Not a canister person at all...
Maybe washers are next, he did pretty much stand and watch my Maytag go thru a complete cycle once, and he was fascinated by the Frigidaire 1-18 and Unimatics he saw in Tucson.
I'm happy he enjoys my hobby, I know we can go to any gathering and he'll have fun.
Thats what its all about right?
 
You are so right Jeff! At the two gatherings I have been to with you and Michael he seems to fit right in. I think this is wonderful. You are a very lucky guy!
 
Michael

It's all over with now but the crying... you might as well start moving furniture...clear out a room... build some shelves... add a few outlets...don't have to be high amperage if your sticking with older models...

Now if the washers and dryers have bitten,,, well that is a bit more costly... wiring and plumbing for those items just a little more costly and my cause you to park the car on the outside of the garage... but you don't mind scraping frost...right...

Tom is right... you need to sign up on Vacuumland.org and send your membership dues to the VCCC... because Omaha will be the best spot in town to add to your all ready growing collection...

Jeff, you need to help this man out...(HINT HINT) don't you have some vacuums that need more room...so yours can grow...

Have Fun..

Morgan
 
Oh Morgan you have no idea!

The basement has already been mapped out, once the old GE freezer goes there is room for at least THREE more washer/dryer sets, and I think Michael will probably sell the shredmore set he currently has, so make that 4 sets!
As for the vacuums, he's got that figured out too. The collection will be split between the basement and the room above the garage.

For those wondering why Michael hasen't responded its because he's on a trip to Cancun with his sister and a friend of hers. Michael's sister was invited to a wedding in Cancun and didn't want to go alone, so he went with her.
I was invited to go too, but didn't have the vacation time from work or the $$$.
He'll be back Monday afternoon. I miss him!
