I was thinking of getting a chest of drawers from Ikea & I read they should be screwed to the wall. Just wondered if someone knows if this is absolutely necessary, as I don't really want to be making holes in wall. Do they fall over/apart easily if not secured to wall or is it just a safety thing? Thanks.
It's a safety thing. If the drawer unit is tall it can topple forward unless it's attached to the wall. If the drawers are full and heavy when they are pulled open they unbalance the unit.Just make sure to only open one drawer at a time. Hope this helps.

    • Using the smart CCTV cameras is your best strategy - particularly if they have adequate infra-red capability. Setting them to be triggered by line crossing or areas of intrusion is worthwhile setting up as is linking them to a PIR sensor. The PIR could also be used to activate a sounder but that might upset your other neighbours. I have a few cameras around our property and I enjoy reviewing the recordings and apart from foxes and birds, I catch the occasional opportunistic thief on camera - like this one last Tuesday. If you need any help, please drop me a PM. S7.mp4

    • Well unless the heron got them later, there were the  two cootlets. I think some others of this year's babies must have escaped the heron. Many years ago (and possibly still, though I never see them any more) there was a whole heron family on the island  - mum, dad and youngster. I don't know how long herons live. Maybe this one is the grown up youngster.
