The Dyson blog: The power of uncertainty: The challenging path from purpose to project

I have such a tough time with some of our glass light fixtures around the house.

A light weight cordless vacuum makes it so easy to just swish over the tops of beds to remove any extra fur balls between cleanings.This really helps cut down on the amount of pet fur that ends up on your clothes too when you sit down on the edge of the bed to put your socks on in the morning!.

Vacuum window sills to keep allergens out.If you like to open up your windows in the Spring, or even if your windows don’t have the best seal on them, allergens can get inside and sit on the trim around your windows just waiting to find a breeze to hop on and make their way further into your home.Vacuuming around the trim of your windows and doors every once in awhile can go a long way towards reducing the allergens in your home and it will keep them looking great too!

Be honest, when was the last time your remembered to clean your window trim?It makes a big difference!

Clean your books too!.

And  speaking of allergens, books, especially old ones are huge collectors!Here’s where things got a little nuts.. You want to pour enough self-leveling cement so that the wires are covered and protected.

You don’t want any exposed wires because you may end up slicing through them or even just their outer casing later when you’re laying your tile and that will cause the whole system not to work.a tragedy for us cold-footed folk.. To get ready for “cement day”, we prepared the room by making sure that the cement would run only where we wanted it to when we poured it into place.. We made cardboard frames to fit inside the ducts for our floor vents and we put plumber’s putty around the tub plumbing and the toilet drain.. A very easy, but necessary step!

Once the cement was all set, we would be able to remove our cardboard and our putty and have perfect holes for these fixtures in the room.. Then it was time for the cement.The moment of truth.
