The shelf I made in 1997 finally came off the wall. Turns out it was just in drywall, not a stud. Why? Don’t know. Lasted a pretty good time, I think.
Took me maybe 4 days to put it back up, mostly because it’s too fucking hot. I needed more torque than my arms could generate so I had to find the old cordless thing and charge the battery for a whole hour and even that couldn’t get the screw in all the way, just 99%, but that’s good enough.
Now my shoulder hurts and I stepped on a nail (didn’t draw blood) and hit my knee, but it’s up on the wall and this time it should last more than 24 years.
I got to get some Bondo or something to fill in the old holes.
