spent the weekend tidying up in a couple of rooms, and of course hoovering. now of course the workshop is full of what was in the living room   still it brought a couple of things to my attention. how do the spiders get in ;D and where do they hide since i never see them  however i need to build some more storage in the new year when i have a little more dosh, and all my fingers working, so i wondered what you all do about allowing for dust removal in built in furniture? obviously there will be a plinth, but do you allow for getting the vacuum under there, or other ideas??? even non built ins, need to be moveable, so it is a similar question. paul  |

YOU, my dear Sir, are treading in dark and very deep brown shiiitttt! ;D ;D What are you doing handling a vacuum cleaner in the house? Stick to your workshop, it is man+beer+relaxation+creativity enviro. Never Ever stick your nose, or offer any help, in that foreign country. Remember the wall that seperates East from West.  |

snip however i need to build some more storage in the new year when i have a little more dosh, and all my fingers working, snip Often simpler to throw stuff away instead of building more storage. Not joking - your 'stuff' expands to fill the space available. Parkinson's Law? It's always a laugh when someone has a new 'fitted' kitchen for the first time; lovely woodwork but empty cupboards  A year later they are filled with junk. |

If the units are fitted and with fixed shelves you cannot get underneath - just keep the joints tight and leave no gaps.
In our lounge we seem to breed giant spiders under the marble hearth. There is a small gap underneath where I threaded some loudspeaker cables and every now and then one will emerge to terrify the wife - generally late at night. No amount of vacuuming with a narrow nozzle will get rid of them! ;D
A friend, with some large units, has fitted some castors to them - with just enough clearance above the carpet so they can be moved for cleaning or decorating.

jaco, i apologise, but being a single man, i have to grasp the nettle, or at least vacuum cleaner on the odd occassion, SORRY ;D didn't mean it guv honest jacob you are right, but there are some things i want to keep, and well and i'm definately not telling paul's wife ;D robo, whilst i kind of agree with you, i am sure that were i to take the plinths of the bottom of my recently installed kitchen cabinets, there would be crud under there even though they were clean when installed. having had to replace the fridge earlier this year, it was amazing what was there like the idea of castors, mind you that means changing ones building habits ;D paul |

Maybe getting in some help is a good idea, then you both can play together with the vacuum cleaner. And, on the subject of spiders - i suffer from arakno.... whatever, absolutely sh*t scared of spiders. Kill first then ask for identification. Wife gets bucket, shoos them in and takes them into the garden. Same with the scorpions and the odd snake. |
