Now we are moved in and almost finished sorting the house out I can turn my attention to the loft! It's smaller than I would like, but an oppertunity to get all my machines unboxed, out and on display!
Havent got them all over yet, and I imagine things will get a little tight when they are but here is my collection! I'll update it as more machines are bought over and unpacked!
In no particular order:

Has a broken hose which I'm always on the lookout to replace. It works, but is heavily taped, has to be held a certain way to make it work and needs some soldering doing.

Is done, complete, always ready for use!

Is restored and finished, although my repair to the plastic poles failed last night with some mild vacuuming. Have spare poles I think. Almost dailied this until the poles went!

Needs a new belt and repairs to the bag, although has been refurbished and I'm not going to do any more for it now apart from a belt!

Needs paint on the handle and a part that screws to the rear wheels re-fitting when I find it. Doesnt groom too well but I think the brushes have gone soft.

Runs beautifully now, but needs some re-assembly when I find the parts and screws, a new handle (with the plug and wiring intact) and the bag is utterly ruined. The oldest machine I have!

Motor still needs to come out for a refurb but works beautifully as is. Bag is perfect, needs a new belt!

Did run well after a rebuild a few years ago but is dead now. Cant remember if I stole the fuse for something before it went into storage or anything simple like that. Have the hose in the garage somewhere.

(My phone started doing its camera issue thing at this stage). Fully refurbed, with unboxed tools somewhere. Writing a little faded due to me holdign the polisher on for too long...

Fully refurbished, even the headlight works!

Fully refurbished and utterly lovely! Has a different rear wheel on one side but as these are made of unobtanium I'm not letting it bother me.

I've always wanted a DC03 and shelled out more money than I would like for this, which works fine but performance is lacking. Cant be bothered to tear it down again, I think its missing the soleplate seal. Leaving it alone for now, will use it to clean off other machines I think

Not technically mine, it was in the house when we moved in. Has an honary place in my collection for now, and will probably refurb it one day if I get bored.

The only new vac I've bought in recent years! Was heavily used at the flat, but can have a quiet life here now we only have one set of stairs!
The loft is getting quite full, but once the rest of our boxes are out of my mums loft I can have another sort out and make some more space! Still got alot of machines to come over too, and a hole to fill in the boarding but I need to buy a saw to cut around the bathroom fan pipe! Currently looks like this:

Will update as and when more machines come over. Looking on freecycle for some nice carpet too, not least to save my knees as I cant stand up in the loft!
