Hi all,
From thereifixedit.com...

"Here's a clever way from There I Fixed It to catch brick- and plaster-dust when drilling holes to hang pictures or shelves."

:doh:

Good idea saves sweeping the dust later

A bit easier than my holding the vacuum cleaner nozzle just under the drill bit. One hand on the drill, one on the vacuum hose! Not very "simple"!

What an excellent idea.

I wouldn't have thought of that one.

I see from all your comments that obviously all you guys vacuum up after yourselves ;)

Hubby think everything happens magically; magic laundry basket, magic vacuum, magic meal etc etc... :rolleyes: When those drill shavings fall down, hubby reckons the fairy is around the corner just waiting to pounce because she has nothing better to do. :screwy:

Hey! I patented that idea 35 years ago when I was five, :rolleyes:! Not one brass razoo in royalties!!! :mad2: :tasdevil: :lol:

Believe that, you'll believe anything.

:lol: Okay, okay, you got me there. :lol:
Alexander is talking about the other night when a beautifully arranged eye piece box designed by hubby magically appeared out of nowhere in the dark while I was observing. Finally I got some magic "my" way :D. Wonder what he'd look like in a tutu skirt :question: Err, sorry guys, yes back to the point of drill hole shaving thingies.:rolleyes:

Very nice Suzy, :eyepop: I bet that was a surprise, ;) and about the shavings and stuff, yep I do actually clean up after myself especially the plaster dust, :thumbsup: I just wreck the vacuum cleaner in the process. :sadeyes: :sadeyes:

Leon :thumbsup:
