This side of my towel rack is finally given out. Hup that off of there. This one over here, still going strong. Loosen these screws up. These have ways out of there. These are not the greatest wall anchors. So I had some of these hollow wall anchors out in my garage. They are all metal. These are gonna kind of blow up inside the wall right there. I feel like the holes are already the right size. So before I start drilling, I'm gonna actually apply a little pressure so I can push these two spikes into the drywall. But it didn't really help. All that it was just started drilling out of the wall. I feel like this is the kind of stuff that happens all the time during my home repair. Grab one of those two little notches. Get an air on that. The back of this is just two slots. It's just gonna slide right down on there. So now this one is just as tight as this.
