If you have arachnophobia, I recommend taking a U-turn here.
Today I visited one of the local thrift stores and discovered in, rather ironically, a corner I walked by countless times on previous visits, this little vacuum. Clearly, it had been stored in the corner for ages and had become a place many spiders once called home. For $4.75, I just couldn’t resist adding Broom Vac #4 to my collection.
Until today, I thought I’d experienced the whole spectrum: the rusty, the scuffed and scratched, the pet-smelling, the cigarette-stinking, the greasy, the sun-faded, the paint-covered, the water-damaged, and the carpet fresh-filled. It seems there is one more category: the spider-infested! Fortunately, spiders absolutely do not bother me, so cleaning up this vacuum will not pose a problem for me.
Underneath all of the grime and perished arachnids, there is a really nice DD Broom Vac. All it needs is a bit of cleaning and a brush roll, of which I have a spare.
Stay tuned for post-refurb pictures.
