i could have died
so today i was vaccuming and when i went to turn off the vaccume there was a small explotion where the off switch is and then it started to smoke, so i quickly unpluged the vaccume and when steph got home we took apart the vaccume to see what happened. when we got to the moter area there was a chunck of plastic missing for the moter cover and the hole thing was covered in cat and dog hair. so we cleaned it out and put it back together and tryed to turn it on, when i hit the on switch there were sparks and the lights in my appartment flickered, so i unpluged it again and we decided that the vaccume is definetly no good anymore. so now we have two vaccumes that no longer work and none that do. i blame merlin he hates that sound of vaccumes more then i do so i think he cloged it in a successful attemt to brake it.
