I did half the stairs with the vac sitting at the top, and the unplugged it, took it down the steps, and did the rest from the bottom. Long hose. Brill vac. :)

Yeah i had to ask him to do it. It got done once a month or so with my doing the carpet sweeper daily to keep the bits off the floor, and him acting resentful every time he did it. Now i dont have to put up with that either.
