Drilling holes in walls

Here's a quick tip to help reduce the dust that results when you drill in walls. Take a small paper lunch bag, open it up, and use masking tape to tape it to the wall right under where you are going to drill the hole. The dust will end up in the bag and not on your floor. You can easily move the bag around as you are drilling to help eliminate the dusty mess that usually results when you are drilling walls.
