    I did it !!! After my towel rack falling out of the wall about 5 times and tearing up the dry wall holes I watched your video and secured my towel rack the right way 🙂. You're video was great 👍 Thank you !!

    I just got a new towel rack and have looked at about 5 videos thus far on "how to." Your precision is AMAZING your commentary great. If everybody took the time and care that you do - well, let's just say our world and bathrooms would be a better place! Thank you for being such a consummate professional at what you do. When looking for DYI help - your channel is where I will head. Hope you put out some new ones from extra things you've learned along the way. Learning never ceases, right?! Thank you.

    Great video! They always are. I like these videos because they get to the point. I’ve always done my own home projects and that lead to helping others and eventually some paying jobs. If there is one thing I learned is that there are a few different ways to do things. When I get a little overwhelmed by the process of selecting which way to go about it I will always look up Shannon’s videos as a way to kind of settle the argument in my head. Brings things into focus and allows the task to stay on point at least for me. Thank you for the info and bringing sometimes forgotten paths back to the front of the mind for those of us who enjoy the hobby. Thank you.

    I’ll make a suggestion here. Plug the drain first! That way no screws, set screws, brackets, or any other pieces are not lost down the drain. I learned that the hard way, years ago.👍

  • @tammyhahn9572
    @tammyhahn9572 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I cannot thank you enough for your easy demonstration on hanging a towel rack!! Especially using the middle hole for a butterfly. That is the way my old set was when I removed it. Then I got a new one but the instructions didn't even mention being able to use the butterflies. Instead they wanted you to screw two holes in each bracket using an anchor. I already had the bigger holes in the wall from the previous butterflies that were inserted. I was baffled trying to figure out how I was going to assemble it now having the bigger hole from the previous butterfly and having to put two more holes for each bracket. You saved me a lot of time and frustration. Your awesome!

  • @chroniclesofann7165

  • @richardgarcia6108
    @richardgarcia6108 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi. I enjoy watching your videos. Your very clear in your presentation and to the point. As a retired math teacher turned into a handyman, I use the toggle bolts on occasion. They are good but most of the time I use “hollow wall anchors “. Some times they they are referred to as “mollies”. Now when I install them I always use a hollow wall anchor installation tool. It looks a little bit like a gun. You can find these installation tools on Amazon. The best ones are the all metal type. The advantage of using a hollow wall anchor is that the connection stays there permanently. I believe the they use a 6 - 32 machine screw. They are very strong and reliable. Of course the best way to install those is to use the installation tool. I’m looking forward to more of your videos. Thank you. I appreciate what you do.

    Nice. A kid might do a chip-up on that.
    I've had cases where there's a bunch of oddities in the wall like braces, partial broken studs, ducts or other that made toggle type anchors difficult. A smaller pilot hole and fishing with a hooked wire may help before using the 1/2" bit right away. I've even had ones where the drywallers used the stud space to dump their garbage end cuts.

  • @thomasgilbert4131
    @thomasgilbert4131 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    If you don't like the bar rattling in the holders just put some toilet paper in each end
    and that will stop it. It can be easily removed if you ever take the rack down.
    Construction adhesive will work also but it seems like overkill and may be
    very hard to remove.
