Old vacuum cleaner?

Walter from Silverstream

I want to cut a channel into a brick wall using an angle grinder.

The channel isn't deep / long, but there will be a lot of dust - which will pretty much destroy any vacuum cleaner I use to suck it up.

I've asked this here once before, but if anybody has an old, nearly dead, but still working vacuum cleaner they'd be happy to part with, please let me know.

My alternative is to buy a new $40+ vacuum cleaner from the warehouse and then throw it away after using it.

I'd rather not do that. It'd be a shame to put that amount of plastics and electronics in the tip after only one use. Better to use something already pretty much at the end of its life.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
