i have often wondered how it is possible that i happen to stink at anything mechanical, mathematical or scientific. i come from a family of engineers and handy folks. even my mom knows how to replace a toilet and she never even attended a day of college.
my vacuum cleaner stopped working. i was pretty ticked off. i hate the fact that i have carpet in the first place, so you can only imagine how much i enjoy vacuuming the carpet...... a friend mentioned this week that maybe the belt needed to be replaced and i didn't even want to try and do that. but today the situation came to a head. i really needed to clean the floor. it was beyond unacceptable.
i googled to figure out how to replace a vacuum cleaner belt. i disassembled the bottom of the vacuum cleaner and cleaned out the bottom of it. the belt appeared to be in tact (it isn't like i use the damn thing often) but i noticed that there was a tube with junk in it. wowzers. you want to talk about clogged....oh.my.gosh. i continued disassembling the housing for the clogged tube and cleaned it out completely.
now my vacuum cleaner is working and instead of buying a new vacuum.....i can buy new shoes.
God bless google
