 Subbing sometimes means finding your own jobs to do. I was having no luck with normal cleaning but then I thought "It's GOT to come apart, right?" Right! This was one of the most satisfying things I've maybe ever cleaned that was not a thing I owned personally. There was a brief period where I was afraid I would either break it or be unable to reassemble it but neither were true. Look how nice! 

I mean reference work is great but have you ever really cleaned out a rolltop sliding thingie?
