The New and Improved Hooverland

[hoover1060]

Fred and Joe came down from Milwaukee today and we made busy with my collection. Thanks to Tom, I decided to hang up my Dial-a-Matics, so I could have some more floor space, mainly for so vacuums could be run and played with.
We hung 21 vacuums on the wall... the space is now very open and there's plenty of room to play!

Now there's tons for room to get stuff out and run!

Fred has the rest of the pictures, so there are more to come!

First, we had to move everything out of the way, which resulted in this:

What a great idea! It looks really nice that way! Nice to have some additional room on the floor for when you want to entertain friends (or yourself for that matter!) with the vacuums.

P.S.

A BIG thanks to Joe... for prettymuch doing all of the work of measuring and figurin' out the spacing! (Math isn't my strong suit..)

Thanks Robert!

Everything turned out really nice, and is still accessible too.
The colors look great as well!

Thanks to Fred and Joe for their help, especially Joe for doing all the measuring so that all the cleaners hung up evenly!

Hi Jeff

What a cool set-up, do you use hooks on the wood?? and are there extra supports (hooks)on the bases of the vertical ones or do they hang just from the handles etc??

Mike,

Looks great Jeff!!

I saw a DAM in blue with a design on the front (similar to the red one you have hanging up on the wall) at a thrift store in Aurora the other day. They wanted $25 for it. If you want, I can go back and check to see if they still have it.
