More progress last night. And probably more tonight, too. Woo-hoo!
This is my handy drill with a forstner bit in it. The Forstner is the only way we found to get a 3/4" hole in a short enough bit to be able to work in the appropriate gap. It's a nice bit, for sure. This won't be the last time we need it.
Hole: Drilled.
This is the toggle bolt thingy we're using. It folds in, pushes through the hole, then springs out on the other side to hold against the drywall. It's a great way to hold something to drywall when you really really don't want it going anywhere.
You've got the mechanical advantage of the screw going for you, so you could really crank this thing down. You don't need to, though. Just get it nice and snug. We ended up doing this on all the surfaces that couldn't be nailed into something solid.
New showerhead. It's actually kinda chintzy. The handle piece doesn't stay in the outer ring very well at all. It looks super handy, and it would be if it worked, but I think it's going to have to come out. Just not very nice at all. Way to fail, Delta.
That's about it. Tonight, we continue to work on the filing (Jenna and my mom) and organizing the basement (me and my dad). Not sexy projects like building walls, perhaps, but still very important. Especially the filing. We're freakin' adults now. We need files.
Adults, so boring I know. I still remember the first REAL purchase we made after we moved was a filing cabinet and a fire proof safe.
ReplyDeleteAt least testing the fireproof safe was fun, right?
