PJmax ah, that's what I was suspecting. And that's what I tried as I got the other one out that way but this one isn't grabbing too well. So this is the only way uh? If so and it doesn't work then I'll just saw it off.
"grab the bracket" would require breaking through the wall, unless you had something else in mind.
juntjoo - What is meant by "grab the bracket" simply means to take hold of the bracket and pull the bracket back away from the wall in order to make the wings on the toggle open widely so the toggle's bolt can be unscrewed.
The bracket that posters are mentioning is the support bracket for the shelf. You can use it to provide pressure to the underside of the screw head which will pull the toggle against the drywall.
Yes, that should work nicely for you...
Just be sure to 'grab the toggle bolt' and pull back on it away from the wall so it doesn't wobble all around as you're sawing on it. You need a pair of sidecut pliers!
I was thinking of trying to use magnets to keep the lid shut (and keep raccoons out of) our garbage bin (which we generally keep outside, and not in garage, due to flies).
In any case, I bought some neodymium magnets with screws, but didn't realize that I purchased 110lb holding force magnets! I searched around further and the smallest I can find is 30 lb. I assume that's still probably too strong for keeping the lids closed. Or maybe it's ok? I of course don't want it being too hard to open...
Should I try just a regular magnet, and not neodymium as those might be too strong?
Thanks for any suggestions.Read More
I'm installing a small awning onto older style stucco wall.
Stucco then shiplap.
What type of fasteners can I use?
The holes in the awning are appropriate 1/2in.
I've been looking, but can't find anything that expands enough in the back to hold it.
