Hiding Places DIY
We all have valuable things that need to be hidden from burglars and sometimes from people working in the house.
I have been doing a bit of research as to how we can do this. My feeling is that hiding places should be where no-one expects them to be.
A couple of ideas :
Make a false bottom to a drawer with a second layer of plywood on top of the drawer bottom. The false bottom should be affixed with magnets, so that if the drawer is turned upside down, to empty it, the false bottom will not fall out.
Place spare keys in a packet of dried vegetables in the grocery cupboard.
Make a removable skirting at the bottom of a cupboard. This could be held in place with magnets. But be aware that anything at floor level could get wet if there is unexpected flooding in the room.
What Ideas do you have to share with us ?
i figure the best places are those that are the least obvious...these are often the most frustrating for the household too, unfortunately, but one gets accustomed eventually...! Someone i spoke to suggested some hooks inside and above the door in cupboards for keys...and that grocery cupboard is great -- And -- the more clutter in your home, the more stuff for the would-be thief to have to look through for the valuable goodies...no excuse for all that clutter -- but it is a deterrent!
