I have been struggling with my vacuum for a week or more. It just wouldn't pic up. Cleaned all the hoses out and the filters and even cleaned all the lint off the brushes. Made sure that there were no obstructions for the belt and still the damn thing wouldn't pic up.

Well finally believing that the roller must be too worn or something like that I took it apart today one more time.

Then the belt was probably worn. Sure enough it was smooth on the inside. Put the new belt, which I had in the drawer, on and it is amazing how clean the carpet is finally

I am a happy camper now. I hate dirty floors.

A woman that can fix her own vacume cleaner.

Funny, I went thru this a couple of months ago..Tore that darn thing apart several times, checked all the hoses and openings, belts, etc.. Finally I took it to a repair shop.. The guy checked it all out and cleaned it a little and then said the only thing he could find was that the plate on the bottom wasn't on correctly..lol It works fine now

yep, couldn't figure out why my heater wasn't working in the truck. I could actually see my breath in it. Relized I had the air on. It would probably make a good blonde joke.

I can be handy to have around sometimes

Hahaha been there done that and I can even fix a carpet cleaner hehehe I mean come on women are pretty handy we even have tool boxes of our own and they are not the pretty pink hammers and screwdrivers

I throw out more vacuums that look pretty damn near new on my trash routes and it usually is something simple I should bring them home fix and sell them

That is pretty funny though

I probably would have never thought to changed the belt as long as the roller was turning! I was married 21 years to a carpenter & I'm usally a do-it-yourselfer too!! I learned a lot over the years when I couldn't get him to fix things around the house I learned how to do them myself. Then came a time I didn't need him anymore...We'd probably still be together if he'd only listened!!

I am really glad I noticed it before I brought it into the shop to be looked at.

yeah that would have sucked and they probably would have charged you for a bunch of work they didn't do

Hummmm yeah the motor on them is real small and only have a few wires connected to them easy peasy to hook a new one in....

a lot of times they don't think to clean out the hose which gets clogged with pet hair very easily

Same with carpet cleaners heck had one giving to me cause they said it would not suck right. All I did was take it apart take all the seals out and clean them all and put Vaseline on them to revamp them. Put it back together and used it for like 4 years before my son came in one night and did not see it knocked it over and broke it

I grew up not even needing the screwdriver = butter knife and Hammer = hard heeled shoe :)

Hell,,,EVERY one of MY moments is a DUDdddddddddddddddd Moment!!!!








What was the question again,,,,,,Oh,,,DUDDDDDDDDDDDD,,




If not for mistakes of mind or mouth,,,WE wouldn't be Human,,wink

Hahaha well my dad raised me and my brother so we found out the difference between a phillip's and a flat head screwdriver real quick....

I worked as a set up in a plastics factory a few years back.
I learned to not be afraid of tools then.
I will help fix a car but I have to have someone tell me whats wrong and what to do.

I can fix a broken hot tub, change a pump on a pool, power wash 4 story houses.. BUT I CAN'T OPEN A DAMN JAR!


i lose my keys all the time! most the time i am looking for them they r in my hand!


I fall off the bed in the middle of the night in deep sleep? WHY? I HAVE NO IDEA! and i dont know till i hit the floor.. i have no dream of falling! its freaky!
