  If Men Vacuumed

One of the constants in our business is dirt, when the machines come in for service they are covered with a thin coat of mud, when it hits the floor it turns to a fine powder which coats everything in a thick film of dust the at the slightest breeze. The powdered dirt is so fine it is even hard to sweep.

The solution they came up with is rather unique. They made a sheet metal hood like the pickup part of an upright vacuum and mounted it to the intake side of a walk behind gas-powered blower unit, the high power output side is connected to a piece of 8" canvas roll flat 'pipe' which is tied off to a light post away from the door.

A gas-powered shop vac. system Tim Taylor would be proud of, duct tape not included, some assembly required, void where prohibited by neighbours, wives or good judgement.

Besty of luck.

  If Men Vacuumed

We put four of those toe-kick dust pans in our house. The most useful ones are in the kitchen, by the firewood stack, and next to the cat litter box. Very useful gadgets.

Speaking of vacuums... I used to do some work for Phoenix transit. The way they vacuumed out their buses was amazing. They attached a huge vacuum to the front door opening of the bus, opened the back door, and turned it on - it sucked everything out of the bus, cups, books, jackets, you name it. Pretty cool, but boy did it make a racket.

Murf, it sure sounds like one heck of a machine that Tim Taylor surely would be proud of. However, I hope that any duct tape that they did use was Red Green approved. "Remember - Keep your stick on the ice."

All of our Duct tape is carries the Possum Lodge seal of approval.

We don't use the cheap stuff.

Best of luck.
