Dumpster Score
When I got home today I noticed someone left some choice junk near the dumpster. I left the patio table and coffee maker, but I did liberate the Sharp Twin Energy Power 1100 10 amp upright vacuum cleaner, which retails for around $200 surprisingly. I also snagged an Epson Stylus Photo 780 inkjet printer, which is probably worth less than the vacuum if it works. In addition to electronic junk, I carried off a wooden chair that has a studded leather seat. I may not keep it as I don’t need a chair, but maybe it will end up as craigslist fodder.
The vacuum did require some serious attention. The accessory hose leading to the bag compartment was completely clogged with carpet fiber, pet hair, and carpet deodorizer. It looked like someone forgot to empty the bag and it just backed up. That seems like a lame reason to throw it away. I kept trying to fish out the debris with a coat hanger then I got smart and pushed a broom handle through the hose to clear it out. It gave me something to do while watching that Bob Dylan documentary on PBS. Now I have two vacuums. This is how I collect a lot of junk. I live like a survivor of the Great Depression.
