Today I took my law test. And then afterwards, I was all revved up because--sweet!--I don't have to study anymore! I decided I needed to do some home improvement projects.
.
I installed a toilet paper holder in the guest bathroom. Hubby has lived here for three years, and I've lived here for a year, and we still hadn't put in a toilet paper holder.
.
Yeah. We're overachievers.
.
So I got out the drill, and I installed the holder, no problem.
At this point, I'm feeling pretty proud of myself. So I decide I need to install a towel bar in the guest bathroom too, since this is another item that this bathroom is lacking.
Look, I've got all my tools and I'm raring to go..
I follow the directions, and I make a hole with the drill, and then pound in the plastic anchors. But when I try to screw in the screws, the entire plastic anchor goes into the wall.
.
I decide my drilled hole must have been too big, so I drill smaller holes, and pound the plastic anchors in. When I try to screw in the screws, the anchors just fall out of the wall.
.
Then I throw all caution to the wind, and try to skip the plastic anchor step. I screw the screws directly into the wall, no anchors.
.
The towel bar immediately falls out of the wall.
.
And that, my friends, is how I ended up with six holes in my bathroom wall.
THAT'S not the look I was going for.
