Aloha Lenny, I'm so worried about things that fall out of, or jump across the room when taking something apart that I often work inside a cardboard box so that things can't get away from me. I also work over a cheap aluminum pan if I think I might have lots of little things such as bolts or screws. The pan is only about a half inch deep, but it is 17 inches long and about 15 wide. Keeps things contained pretty well. Congratulations! Betsy At 06:39 AM 4/23/2010, you wrote: >Well, I just took the Bissell upholstery attachment apart.
