typing and coffee [ 2 days old ] looking from the corner seat ....
sunny, humid [ b / c they said ] and Eternal Blue is slightly hazy
nothing on tap today.
Oh. an ongoing problem, how to hang objects on the walls in this house. Specifically, yesterday. Two days ago, one of the adjustable clothes racks fell down [ or pulled off the wall ]. And not the first time. The failure was that the plastic wall anchors pulled out of the drywall.
Yes, when I looked, there were two other holes where this failure happened previous. This hangar rack is fastened to the wall by a round plate and the actual adjustable arm is perpendicular to the plate and wall.
YouTube suggestions called for toggle bolts. These metal fasteners have two parts, a winged foldable piece and the bolt. The folded wing goes into the wall attached to the bolt and on entering a void, pops open to form a brace that can be pulled w / the bolt against the wall. Easy, peasy.
Nope. I goofed or ....... ? By shimming the plate, I finally, got one side to grab [ the other was no problem ]
Now, I cannot look to see what happened behind the wall, The whole apparatus was too loose. I used a preexisting hole [ maybe too big ??? ]
Upshot. The rack is solid. As stated, this difficulty occurs all over the house.
ah, the joys of home ownership.
