Sorting out my paperwork

Image
All of my brochures, instruction manuals and other paperwork had been in disarray for years, so I decided to smarten it up. Bargain expanding files obtained from the supermarket. They came up at £3 each at the till, but a quick word at the customer services desk saw that reduced to £1 and some money back (I bought 3) What I had to sort through Started to categorize bits. Dyson Hoover (Missing a few here) Miele Sebo Numatic Random My girlfriend wrote all the labels as she has better handwriting than me My stock of air freshners wouldn't fit in, so they stayed out and went in a cupboard As did the service manuals The lever arch is full of bits I've printed off over the years, which is too thick to go in the box files. Either way, much neater!

I acquired this little gem from ebay for 99p a few months ago. A short drive was needed to collect it, and in doing so found out that this cleaner had been bought by the gentleman selling it's Mother. He seemed quite pleased and confused when I said that I collect Vacuum Cleaners, and that I would be stripping her down and re-building it as new. This was done a few weeks ago now, so apologies for any date gaps! As I collected her: Pictured with my Plus. The stripdown begins Remove the 4 screws on the base-plate And remove the base-plate itself! Signs of damp Slight damage here but nothing too concerning Activator was removed Brushroll was split and cleaned up Hood was removed And some damage showed up. This had been glued before, but had failed Random clothes peg in the bottom of the bag The bag fill tube is secured by 2 screws at the bottom Which screw into these metal threads
