Well It Looks Like I Will Need A New Vacuum Cleaner!

I was going to vacuum one of the bedrooms today and found out that my vacuum cleaner did not want to cooperate!

I have had this vacuum cleaner now for some time - over 20 years I think - so I think that it's time to get a new one!

The problems that I'm having with it is first that I am not getting enough suction! I thought maybe the hose was clogged up and I checked it and it was clear. Second of all the hose that goes into the vaccum is not catching on to the vacuum bag itself. (Actually it took me quite a while to find a store near me that carried the right size vacuum bag that I needed!)

Third (and probably the most important thing of all) is that I broke the catch that secures the hose and bag to the vacuum machine itself!

The brand of the vacuum cleaner is Eureka and it did last a long time and it worked quite well - so I'll probably buy the same brand. However I have done a quick Internet search of vacuum cleaner prices and they sure have gone up since the last time I bought a vacuum cleaner!

So I welcome your comments and suggestions as to the kinds of vacuum cleaners that you have that you are happy with and hopefully your comments will help those who are also in the market for a new vacuum cleaner!

The Kitchen Sink Is Still Clogged.......

And I found out that while the water is slowly draining down the clog the pipe in the basement is pretty much rusty to a fault!  So far I have duck-taped it hoping that THAT will help.

The piping system probably needs an overhaul but I want to take my time with this and get someone reliable to do the job - plus I have to set aside a budget for it.

I found where the kitchen sink is leaking to

It's not a pretty site! The pipe is leaking in the basement and the pipe is in back of another pipe which makes reaching it quite difficult. I know that I am going to have to replace the pipes because they have been there for a while now. But at least when I have them replaced I'll have a warranty and will know that the pipes are new.

Now I got to find a reputable company to do the job.

Well the kitchen sink is still clogged up but......

The water is draining down although it is draining so slow.  I finally managed to get some unclogging product from the store but I really should get the Liquid Plummer brand.  I have been plunging the drain ever so often and the water is slowly going down.  I'll have to wait and see.

I miss being able to use the kitchen sink!  It's where I wash my hair (which is probably one of the reasons why it is clogged now!)

Well the kitchen sink is clogged up!

This just happened today and I'm hoping (actually praying) that the water will go down!  I'm in an anxious state right now because I surely don't have enough money to pay a plumber!  I don't even have enough money to by any LIQUID plummer!
