Honey, WE DON'T NEED STUDS, WE AIN'T HANGING A DEER HEAD!

This one I had to laugh at. We went round and round on it till I thought I would spit. He did not want to hang these shelves that we had in our Florida house on this new wall because there were NO Studs where the hook gadgets were and he was determined they were NOT gonna stay up there. Well, Nick suggests these honker of huge sinker type holders that would have held six deer heads to the wall (mind you, 2 for each shelf) and I laid down the law that those anchors were NOT going into those new walls.

We discussed it some more, tossed over putting it off till he could get to Mountain Building Supply the next day (where he works) and get something that would "do the trick" and I said - HONEY, we aren't gonna put anything heavier than a picture frame on them, lets just go with a nail and put the stinking things up.

As you can see, They are now up. Yes they will fall off I am sure - as they did in the Florida house many a times. But mamma's happy and we are moving onto the next project!

BY the way, GUS, we used a high tech laser level gadget that would have made you a very happy man. He had this beam going every which way and it would have leveled the world! Thank goodness he borrowed it, didn't buy it!
