We put up a couple of "floating shelves" in the kids room yesterday;
The shelves, however are not the point...
The point is... when you drill holes in the wall,
reduce the pain-in-the-bum mess
with a wee bit of masking tape.
The idea being that you mark your hole, put on the tape...
Drill yer holes...
... and the mess lands nicely in the tape.
Fold it over...
... and discard. No vacuuming up after required.
Ok, sorry... but I just felt like sharing. :D
