Knowing that I'm going to be spending a bit of time cleaning up the the place before going too much further; lots of dust and stuff kicking around I needed to get myself a workshop vacuum cleaner. I have an old household one at the moment but it scares me a bit when I turn it on - it sounds like it's going to blow up when I turn it on!!! You know when you turn these things on the noise gradually builds up. Well this one does that but it never actually flattens off and sounds like it will just carry on until........BANG!! Besides it has little or no suction.
Anyway, I did some searches on ebay and found a Draper branded wet and dry vac that looked like it would fit the bill - for £60. I found it with a trader in my locality and managed to persuade my wife to get over to them to pick it up for me in the afternoon. I work about 60 miles from where I live so a little difficult for me and they weren't open on Saturday and I wanted to get cleaning up this weekend before starting to break open packs of Mineral Wool.
