Is taking your shoes off in someone's home the right and hygienic thing to do, or do you see being asked to remove your shoes as a total imposition?

Hey neighbours, how do you feel about this divisive household dilemma?

Is taking your shoes off in someone's home the right and hygienic thing to do, or do you see being asked to remove your shoes as a total imposition?

It's one of many home dilemmas we come across on Homed, along with toilet paper over or under? cutlery up or down in the dishwasher? top sheet or no top sheet?, to name a few. Read more about the arguments for each and see how many people agree with you, here.

It is very light to handle but also reasonably strong. I have found it VERY handy but we are selling our house and have no use for it. It does have a 10mm piece of safety glass that is 30mm short one end and I've also made a ply timber top infill that has some paint on it but could easily be sanded and repainted. It fit perfectly. Thinking $35 as I don't expect it is worth much but make me an offer as I don't want to throw it out. O22 399 0742

This Ozito CSE-355 Electric Chainsaw features a powerful 1800W motor, 355mm bar and is ideal for felling small to medium sized trees, cutting small logs and sawn timber, and trimming branches.

Safety features include an automatic chain brake that will engage in the event of kickback and bucking spikes which assist with the cutting action and help reduce the possibility of kickback.

Automatic chain oiling keeps both the bar and chain lubricated, this reduces the level of friction and helps prolong the life of these components.

Comes with spare chain and near 1ltr chain oil. In good condition, asking $65. Ph or message - 022 399 0742
