Stupid is as....

Post by flopstock »

Did you ever notice that shop vacs have a couple of vent holes on them? Either that or they are holes that should not be there?



I made this amazing discovery tonight when i had the brilliant idea to use the shop vac I'd bought last spring to clean the ashes out of the fireplace before starting it up..



Great suction action... I could have shoveled for an hour and not gotten it as cleared as two minutes with the shopvac did...then I turned and faced the living room...:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl



kitchen, hallway... everywhere ..the air was thick with flying ash..:D



Oh well, live and learn.. and look what I have now..

ALOHA!!

MOTTO TO LIVE BY:

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, champagne in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming.

WOO HOO!!, what a ride!!!"

I've ran into that problem before. Usually it is caused by the filter bag not being high enough on it's retainer, or a hole in the filter bag.
