[marks_here]

Gosh all that looks like fun!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

They always are!

Happy guy!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

He loved his new find

I wonder: what's with all of these "orbs'/?

 

[super-sweeper]

John, did you let that Whirlpool out alive? I'll be surprised if you did, you know, after it whooped all your HOOVERS at cleaning a rug?


(Ducks and Runs!) 

 


Looks like a fun time. Good food and good Hoovers! BUT....that Whirlpool is speaking to me....I'm with Will, you found WHAT at a thrift store? 

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Of course I let it out!!!

I let the Eureeeka out too. and , from the basement went a Regina electrikbroom. Yay! "out w/ the old, in w/ the HOOVER". Sorry, had to, because I could.

Dan, Dan!<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;"> somebody get Dan on this thread,jobs John's trying to steal his catch phrase!!! </span>

 

[marks_here]

LOL "Because I did!"

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Relax

I'm my own person, in these United States of America. "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of a spotless home"! )

 

[super-sweeper]

Yep, spotless thanks to that Whirlpool! 

 

[marks_here]

I thought we lived in New China??

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I believe it was

Miss Connie HOOVER. or, was it Mr. Conrad HOOVER". {Concept} Well,, it was one of them. You know the house is haunted... right? It explains a lot. Zippy, "Rob" is dying to get into one or all of those basements.

 

[super-sweeper]

He'll never get into the basement, that's where you keep your KIRBY stash!! 

 


Mark, no, we're in South Canada! 

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Not really a stash, more like their

"holding platform".. before they leave and go on their way....... out into the world.... to people who love Kirbys.

[gottahaveahoove]

Because I MIGHT? right?

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Darn

Don't worry, I'll get it. Keep calm and carry on...... with a set of "deluxe" tools.

RCA Whirlpool Imperial..

1958...One just sold on Ebay for OVER 700.00 without the power nozzle!!!! One of the rarest cleaners ever, one of the very first power nozzles on the market, and the same basic machine that Sears sold as a Kenmore...with enough cosmetic changes to make it different, Compact would go on to copy the power nozzle calling it the ABC, but they are somewhat different, the same only in basic appearance.

 

[kirbyvertibles]

LOL I WOULD DIE for that RCA imperial. Very nice pics John as usual. Thanks for sharing

 

[super-sweeper]

But then you couldn't use it! 

But hey, I'd do stuff too for that Imperial, maybe not sell my kidney or die for it, but I'd do less-valuable stuff!!! 

 

[kirbyvertibles]

ok ok I wouldn't die for it but kill for it would be an option, Let's see just where is the location of that RCA?????? HEHEHEHE

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Glad you liked the pics

There are only 2 people I'd "imitate". They are: Maty Rocha.... fabulous display, and my very good friend, Tom Anderson, a true inspiration. I've "copied" lots of ideas from him. They've inspired me, I've imitated both of them, and it was flattering. But, really, threy're the only two. And, I admire them both, truly, because I can.

Yes your basement layout seems like a Real Estate wonder and sounds really cool to check out. I like house designs and construction too! Shame I didn't make it as far as I had hoped in Real Estate since I was joining when it was going doing terribly. Someday I'll probably get back into it.

Maybe I can help John purge his home of those Kirbys and other non-Hoover machines! Afterall, I just upgraded from that Brandywine Eureka to a Hoover Convertible Elite. I've been getting into commercial cleaning lately and the Sanitaires with their VGII and that Brandywine I had aren't doing well on lints and other things. So far the Hoover is doing well. I'm happy with my upgrade! The bag change is far neater over the Sanitaire SC886 shake out bags.

"Life, liberty, and the pursuit of a spotless home"

Because Hoover helps you get there

 

[papasvacs]

Wow!

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Looks like fun was had by all, as usual.</span>


<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Missed being there with y'all.  We spent Halloween at Wilton Manors, FL.  A great place to be.  Streets are closed off beginning at 1:00 in the afternoon and it becomes a street festival.  We had a great time, still missing one and all.</span>


<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">"Things" are still not great with my leg and that limits my travel.  Hard to be either on or off my feet for long periods of time.</span>


<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Thanks for posting the pictures.  I always enjoy seeing them.  </span>


<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">In the spirit of the Monster Bash, I think I'll go run a Hoover!</span>


<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Best!</span>

Kirbyvertibles, I'm getting their first! as long as you don't follow the trail of burnt rubber and the smell of vintage gasoline, you'll NEVER find me, or beat me to it! muhahahaha, I already have the decoy Whirlpool in the trunk! 

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Rob,

Someday you'll see the entire basement. The big one has double stone walls halfway up , thick beams, joined in the center with a big cast iron belt. In the middle of the room, there;s a "bullet metal" trap door into a chamber under the cellar. It's quite the setup for consrtuction from the 1870s.
