Kaylee took this picture for our "Are We Normal?" Series. This is our vacuum cleaner. A while ago, the cord broke. I was happy about that, because I did not like the vacuum, and was excited about the prospect of getting a new one. However. Frugal, engineer father got an old extension cord out of the garage and wired it to the vacuum cleaner. Now it works -- good as new. Actually it is even better than new, because you can go practically anywhere in the entire house without having to switch outlets! It is rather cumbersome to lug the lengthy cord around, but everyone seems to manage. We were just wondering: How many other people in the world have a vacuum cleaner with as amazing of a cord as we do? Surely this is not normal.
Oh, Deanne, it must be a family thing...our vacuum plug was getting HOT and it burned our fingers to unplug it. Andrew re-wired it to a different pluger -inner so the old vacuum wouldstop burning us. Lucky for me, there was no need for the long extension cord.
