    Our "used" house came with the outlets in the wall for the central vac and the instruction manual but no other parts. We have not replaced it. I have an original Dyson Animal we got when we had the German Shepherd and it still works great but cumbersome. I got a smaller Dyson cordless and that is upstairs in the sewing room. I recently got an another Dyson cordless for downstairs which works just great. I can do the entire downstairs with a charge and plenty more juice leftover if I want to use attachments on baseboards, etc. (And yes, I know there are other cordless vacs similar to the Dyson that get good reviews and if you enjoy those that is wonderful.)

    I was cutting fabric today and noticed that the rotary cutter and board had what could be "dust" I am guessing that all that cutting leaves a lot of the dust. I am not allergic or sensitive so it doesn't bother me.

    Any concerns about long term health issues with the "dust"? I found research about workers in textile factories getting "brown lung", and while most of us probably don't quilt like a full time job, over the decades, we do spend a lot of time in our quilting spaces!

    There are only so many things in life I can worry about and this isn't one of them
