I now have 2 HOOVER 29s

[gottahaveahoove]

When I was a kid in school, if you were "bad", you HAD to clean the convent. If you were "good", you GOT to clean the convent. Either way, the nuns won. I GOT to clean it. I saw 2 HOOVER 29s. My first day at the seminary, I saw 2 HOOVER Guardsmen. It was a sign, I'm sure. Now, I have 2 HOOVER 29s. One came from Rick (akabent). The other I bought.... it had been a gift to the seller from my good friend, Tom Anderson. I'll cherish both, because: A: I cherish the machines, B: I cherish these 2 people. Each time I use them, I'll think of my two friends. Photos will follow.

Sounds like fun John!

It is always good....

....to have multiples. Good vac's are like firewood, you need to lay in a supply. Many vacuums very sensitive about status, some breeds only associate with their own. If they're the only one, they get lonely. Sometimes it's hard to tell. But things like blowing a bag, or throwing a belt, are indications.

You were not only compassionate, but very wise to pick up another '29. Ultimately, your home is better off because of that.

no one could have put it better

but, fear not! It's a HOOVER family here. Not to fear about "others" on their turf.

I'm glad that you have a pair of 29's John. i think they are probably one of the most beautiful Hoovers especially being done in Burgandy.
