Hi-fi shelf

If you get an IKEA chopping board: and turn it upside-down and back-to-front, it makes a very nice wallshelf for hi-fi equipment.The lip makes it look very smart from the front (the little food-safebranding on the side edge adds a touch of whimsy).You need to cut it down, because it's deeper front-to-back (53cm) thanit needs to be even for a record player (about 41cm).The width is ideal. Of course, the care instructions say to oil itregularly, but that's mainly to help achieve a smooth, natural sound.IKEA is like Lego for grown-ups, if you're not careful.Daniele

I'd imagine she uses it as a hand hold when getting up. What you need is a collapsing device that just slots back in again. Brian

She's probably wiping her arse on the roll itself.

I wouldn't like to be in your shoes Grimly if you said that to her face!

I suppose tho' that by making such a suggestion, you must be speaking from personal experience within your own household?

No Brian. it's a problem with the Paramount wall and the fixings for the type of holder that she wanted fitted - the location of it on the wall prevents it being used as a makeshift handrail. BTW, SWMBO is rather fit for her age and has yet to succumb to the creaking joints syndrome - lucky perisher.

Simply tell her not to do it until it pings the fittings off the wall.
