Sorry to revive an old thread but I'd rather not start a new one. Not too much has been happening, went on vacation for a bit. Scrapped 3 vacuum cleaners (well, one was some steam vac thing), motors and cords on those are nice. The worst was this beat up Hoover one, such a pain to tear apart, and it had the dinkiest little motor! The steam vac was more fruitful, as was the Biswell which came apart really quick. Now the curb is filled with even more junk, because the trash company still hasn't picked up the CRT and boxes that have been there for 2 weeks when they're supposed to take bulk every 3 days.... . Also on the block was a ceiling fan (minus the blades) which is gonna require some elbow grease to get apart because one of the screws is a security bit of some description. (The rest are phillips! Only this one screw is a security bit). That's it aside from the lid of a dryer that got added to the steel pile. (Just the lid, you think I can lug an entire dryer back to my house without pissing off the neighbors? :P . Maybe I could have rigged something but I like not to stand in people's yards too long. Guy with a trailer came yesterday and hauled the rest of it off).
