Vacuum machine towers above for Spring cleaning feat
East Hill resident Paul Baker designs and installs a gasoline powered vacuum system in his cellar. The contraption cleans all rooms via adjustable air flow, claimed as perhaps the city’s largest of its kind and eliminating the need to move the machine between rooms. The invention showcases local ingenuity in home maintenance.
