That was really weird. Thinking I had a Craftsman vac of some sort, I was somewhat distressed to find that it said Hoover on the outside. Weird. Oh well. Vaguely remembering that I might have bought a Craftsman filter for it at one time, I looked inside to see if it was compatible with what CleanStream was selling. Lo! It was a CleanStream filter. WTF? :D
It still clogs.
The beauty of the drywall bag is that the dust cake seems to fall off in between uses. I like the Cleanstream as a main filter, but the bag is a great pre-filter.
Then she really won't like a metric thermostat.
She has yet to meet a thermostat she likes.
They ALL lie!
I noticed that Sears offers a "foam" sleeve that fits over the regular filter.
They also sell the paper bags for the various models...
I haven't tried the foam filter but I have cut off one of the legs of a pair of my wife's old panty hose and stretched it over the filter. It helps and it didn't cost anything.
I think that's for wet vac'ing.
Strewth! That's hot!
Got that, too!
Shavings stick to it.
For sander dust collection, nuttin' works as well as the bags.

One of very many examples of the metric/celsius system being less well tuned to the human body and human experience than imperial/farenheit.

For sure.... Unfortunately, metric controls are what we get in Mexico..
Some nights during the summer, 30 isn't getting the job done and 29 is a little chilly... I'd really prefer F over C for AC..

Not when it's 100+ f outside..

Mine definitely doesn't.. Between being cold and having "power surges" where she burning up, some nights get really interesting..

I think the thermostat upstairs is in a cold spot, since I had to adjust it to 59F to get the temp in the bedroom to 22C ...
The solution to that, I would think, is to smuggle in a non-metric thermostat.

Or use an analog thermostat.

We can't, as far as I know.. The unit (mini-split) is on the wall and the only control is the remote for it.. I asked Trane if the remote and/or the AC unit could be programmed for Fahrenheit, they said not possible..

the next question is whether or not the user can be programmed for Celsius...

Well, we've sort of had to reprogram, especially my wife.. The oven is in C also, so she has to do the math for most of her baking.. Now, if they'd stop moving the Peso around, I could figure out how much we spend on utilities and stuff..lol
