Off-topic I know, but I just nabbed a Rigid 9-gallon, 3.5 hp shop vac for=20
$19.97+tax. 7 foot hose, 10 foot cord. At your local Home Depot. They have=

one that's the same or similar (Rigid, 9-gal, 3.5hp) in the tool aisle for=
=20
$58. This was in the front of the store. Someone from Atlanta bought them=20
too, I'm in WI. If anyone asks, I'll let you know the pros and cons of the=

unit.
