Tried to mount a simple shelf… now my wall looks like Swiss cheese
I thought this was going to be a quick and easy project. Just drill a couple of holes, pop in some anchors and boom I got a brand new shelf and a reason to boast in front of my handy friends. Instead, I’ve spent hours dealing with uneven screws, I've got drywall dust everywhere and somehow making way more holes than necessary. At this point, I don’t know if I should keep going or just put a picture over the damage and pretend I never tried. Why does something so simple always turn into a full-blown disaster? submitted by /u/Edgeless_SPhere [link] [comments]
