Fortunately for me when my wife and I recently bought our house (unfinshed basement), we agreed that the basement was mine and the upstairs was hers and that I could build a modest home theater (media) room. The best part is that the room will be locked. We are expecting in a couple of months and when they can start to walk, that's when the "trouble" begins.

I've heard from many people that tape works best for pulling out pushed in dust caps. It tends to be safer than the vacuum method as not all vacuums are created equal (previous post warning about shop vacs).
