lessons learned Speaking as someone who has been fascinated by Titanic since childhood, there are many reasons it holds our attention. To begin, the tragedy of Titanic spelled the beginning of the end of Edwardian class distinctions. The ship herself was a marvel of her time. Yes, she was...

Doug, let me add my sincere condolences, what horrible thing to happen! We're all behind you. While the loss of the building and part of your collection is gut-wrenching, thank God there was no loss of life.

Did you try leaving a box of baking soda in the closed hassock? It may take a few days, but often the soda will soak up any odors. I've had some success with wadded up newspaper in "aromatic" luggage, but that takes much longer.

Color, wash and set... Wait, Endora just CAME from the salon. SHeesh. Personally, I prefer to fly the Filter Queen, much as the little girl from "The Wednesday Witch." Just sit, and point the wand where you wish to go.

Okay, Phil, why isn't Rick doing his Vanna impression in any of these shots? He did drive all that way just for the photo-op! LOL

Wait, haven't we seen this somewhere before? Like right here?

Did someone say Lewyt? If the Lewyt is looking for relocation, please email me! Thanks.

Tap, tap, tap... No pictures of the Filter Queen? LOL

Davy, Davy, Davy! You have SUCH a way with words. LOL. Do hurry back to St. Louis when you can--you really only got to scratch the surface. Keith

You'll love it! Our own Rick (vacomatic) presented me with one a while back--his Mother's--and it is one of my favorites! My own Mama likes it, when I can pry her away from the Constellation.

Score! I think that's lovely, and I am a cannister man. Aferim!

Looks like a mail slot to me.

Oh, man, THANKS for that tip! I wondered why my polisher didn't "do right." You guys are awesome.

I have it on good authority that's the "Agnes Moorhead" model. Perhaps Endora enchanted this bag to stay vibrant.

I do believe the foyer is exclusively Hoover, and the staircase as well. John is thorough.

must...have...barkcloth draperies...

Oh, my Lord! You've found Lewyt bags to boot! I'd try to bribe you with goodies, but you and I seem to cook the same things. Dern it.

I couldn't get past the "vaccum" description. <cringe> Somewhere, my English teacher Mrs. Bollinger is weeping.

Well, I am speechless! Both those restorations are breath-taking, even "in progress"! I so admire a man who can work with his hands.

Coke has acid. We used it at Jack in the Box to clean oil off the drive-thru pads. I don't think it'd be great for restorations. Naval jelly is my remover of choice.
