The vacuum cleaner has bitten the dust. Literally. Kayleigh was using it to clean up some flour she spilled and it zapped her then stopped working. So I have to use my savings to get another one. We're going halves though so I'm ok with that.
We had to buy a new vacuum cleaner about a day or two after Christmas. Amazon to the rescue.
Funny thing is our old one still vacuums great, but the vibrating spinney brush thing quit working - no replacement available.
The REAL funny thing is that I am a hoarder and a repurposer. I can't just recycle a working motor without exploring ways to give it a new life!
I have been planning to build myself a "record cleaning station" where all my LP cleaning tasks are combined onto/into one cabinet space for convenience and simplifying workflow.
I have been using a "Spin Clean" (deep cleans with water solution and mild scrubbing) and a "Vinyl Vac" (for drying and final sweeps before playing) attachment that I hook to a small external shop vac, but having everything to do with the LP cleaning process, both wet and dry, in one case, on wheels, would be awesome.
The body and sucky parts of this vacuum are set aside for that build project, soon.
