The procedure is as follows: – presses baseboard to the wall and the floor (so it is slightly pressed coating); – hammer drill a hole in the baseboard and the wall. In the baseboard is drilled a hole where it then can not be seen – under the fence, hiding the cable channel – looks like the dust from the resulting hole and pushes back the plastic plug (of course, drill diameter should match the diameter of the dowel) – insert a dowel screw and screwdriver screwed him – go to the place of the next hole and repeat all the manipulations. At the end of attachment vacuum cleaner (preferably old) "sucks" construction dust from the places where they were drilled.

A good specialist should develop a series of improvement projects section, from which the customer subsequently choose the most attractive option for him, straightened neustraivayuschie its moments and will receive its own unique landscape design.
