Hello Old Friend I Have Missed You

We got our first in house vacuum system 33 years ago. I have been without one for two years  now and miss it so much. I don't see how people can get their floors clean with just a broom and dustpan. Must be a housekeeping skill I never acquired.

Bill was working on the office walls and I questioned him if it was time for the vacuum system and he stopped real quick so we could figure out where to get the system and get it ordered.

 . The system comes with a 30 foot hose so we need outlets all over the place. You have to measure your 30 feet around corners. Figure out where big pieces of furniture will be placed that you will h ave to pull the hose around. The manufacturer will place the outlets on a floor plan if you send it to them, Bill wants to figure it out himself. We will put as many as possible on adjoining walls to save pipe purchases.


 Vacuum pipes for the Office and the Trophy Room
 Pipe and outlet for the West Wing Hallway.

To get power to the outlets you use simple telephone wiring. The power comes on when you plug the hose into the outlet. This causes the vacuum mower to come on and suction everything off your floor. The canister all the dirt goes into will be going into the garage.




 When Bill cut this hole he nicked the electrical wire on top of the board. A little (big) shock and  the breaker is tripped. He shook his hand from the shock, flicked the breaker back; on because you cannot work without music. Radio came on and he was back at work.
