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

Vac collecting is fun, now you're gonna start seeing interesting vacs all over the place that you never took interest in before.

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!!!

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!

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?

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..

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!
