Show The Salt Lake Tribune Custom wall systems can answer the questions of too little space By The Associated Press The average home is adequate for most possessions and activities without too many compi omises or contortions Sometimes, however, the objects to be stored are simply too multifarious for the available space That's when custom wall systems may be the only answer Despite their expense, such systems are ideal when space is minimal and needs are maximal Short of Space In Europe, where they have been short of space for centuries, such systems are in common use, says Werner Meier who imports from West Germany Meier is convinced that many Americans especially city dwellers will eventually live with such furnishings The secret to their excellent function is specialized storage components and the use of modular sections that can turn corners, go up to the ceiling, cross in front of a window, bridge a door or change height and depth as needed Among storage options that fit the components for use in virtually any room are open and closed shelving, drawers cabinets to store television and home audio components, record bars and tape organizers drop-liand desks, drawers for silverware, lighted glass display shelves and pullout storage bins Combination Lock Often, units contain a safe with a combination lock, clothing wardrobes of various dimensions fitted e with hanging bars, shelves, compartments and other specialbeds ized storage devices Fold-ou- t and tables, file cabinets, computer cabinets, speaker cabinets, paned-glas- s doors and secretarial units are also among options offered by at least one such system Since the ready-mad- e systems are not dependent on walls for support, they can go virtuTy anywhere Obstructions such as windows, doorways, heating ducts and radiators electrical outlets and light switches can be incorporated into a completed wall simply by building around them Special moldings, panels, door and window bridges and tr.m are available for this purpose With so many options, one of the most difficult aspects to using the d shoe-storag- jVk 6 svstemslu from pav ing for them) is working out exactly what you want and need General Rule As a general rule, Jane Meier, who helps customers plan systems for their special needs, feels that an individual unaccustomed to working with a wall system should seek the ser-ices of an experienced planner An interior designer or retailer specializing in wall storage systems is often the proper person to see It helps if you have measured the available space first and determined a budget (As a general guideline, Meiers "Planum system might cost about $6,000 to $7,000 installed for a wall Outfitting an entire room with oceans of storage and intable and bed cluding a could run as high as $20,000 ) pace and some heavenly peace and quiet What a joke1 I was aware that r my neighbor was a next-doo- censed li- day-car- e mother, but since I worked during the day I didnt realize what a change it had made in the neighborhood The noise starts around 7 30 a m screaming, fighting, crying and kids on bikes yelling in front of my house like maniacs I realize children need a place to go when their parents work but dont adult property owners have some rights7 Don't tell me to go to my neighbor and speak to her We have always had a good relationship and I dont want to ruin it (PS Earplugs would drive Headme crazy and I cant move ) aches In 111 Dear Head: The children who are screaming in front of your home should be told, by you, to cool it The law says you are entitled to peace and quiet. If you can hear the children yelling while they are in your neighbors home, you have no choice but to tell her, in as nice a way as possible, that the noise is giving you a perpetual headache. Its either that or those earplugs that drive you crazy VlHING LEADS TO PEHRSONS Dear Ann Landers: I m a young girl who needs advice from an understanding person I should also tell you am not average Im special All the guys my age act so stupid, Im looking for a really good relationship with a nice fellow But the nice ones are always older Wherever I go, I look for men Last Sunday, I found myself flirting with a married man in church When I realized what I was doing, I stopped at once Please tell me how to find a about 14 nice man my age Looking In Lancaster Dear Lan.

Two of my children have presented us with grandchildren whom we love, but we can hardly believe they were raised by the children we raised They do not say please or thank you It's gimme or I want They interrupt conversations If they don't like what you say, they will take a healthy swing at you, or scream, Ill do what I want and you cant stop me They have no respect for personal property Their parents make no effort to correct them Any advice on what can be done about grandchildren such as ours7 Disappointed In Waterbury, Ct Dear Disappointed.
