I fixed my vacuum cleaner yesterday

I am pretty proud of myself.

I took the entire thing apart, cleaned it all out, replaced the broken belt, and now it works.


I was pissed at the thought of wasting good money I could be spending on reef stuff on a new vacuum.

The belts cost me about 4 dollars for 2 of them, so I even have a spare belt now.

 

weird thread ... but cool... k+ for the hoover fix

 

If this was PharmrJohn he'd dub himself, "Fixer of Vacuums."



Nice job, BTW. It's very satisfying to fix something that most would not attempt. DIY rules!

 

i totally agree. Just think - you are the KING of that vaccuum now!
(might you be willing to come fix mine? LOL)

now - go treat yourself to something from the LFS

 

+K for the FIY. i hate how places try to screw you on something simple just because they know how to do something. Best Buy was going to charge me $90 plus parts to fix the power supply on my desktop. 20 minutes of work a $12 chinese replacement and i was up and running. way to stick it to the man, Tom!

 

K+ for posting something random about something that always has problems..

 

Anyone that knows me understands that randomness is normal

I didn't even think about Pharmerjohn's cymbal fixxer thread. LOL

 

excellent work on the vaccuum horkn. always best to try and fix 1st. satisfaction for the wallet and your tank. resoldered my daughters hair dryer last weekend . mostly because i could. lol.
