How to Use Hollow Wall Anchors

When hanging objects on your walls, it is important to be aware of what sort of nail or screw is required to support the weight. For most smaller objects, like pictures and hanging ornaments, just a normal nail is fine. Hollow wall anchors, also known as drywall anchors, are meant to carry heavier pictures, some lightweight shelves, and other similar objects. Once you go over twenty pounds, a hollow wall anchor is required to bear the weight. This prevents the drywall from flaking apart and causing the nail to fall from the wall. Drywall is by its very nature weak, so we must rely on the hollow wall anchors to, well, anchor themselves to the wall so that anything hung on the attached screw won’t fall down and cause damage.

How to Fix a Hole in Drywall

There are a variety of reasons there may be a small hole in your drywall. Sometimes something smacks into the wall and damages it. Sometimes there is a small screw hole in your drywall. Sometimes the drywall itself has popped away from the stud and the nail is pushed through it. Whatever the reason, smaller holes in drywalls are a quick and easy fix. They don’t require many materials to repair; you just need some spackle, or joint compound, a putty knife to smooth the material down, mesh material for drywall repair, or drywall tape, if the hole is under six inches, and a sanding block or sandpaper to smooth the joint compound down after it dries. Don’t forget to feather, or flatten, the joint compound as you spread it so that it will blend into the wall.

How To Replace Your Kitchen Cabinet Hardware

Kitchen cabinet hardware could possibly be one of the most used, and overlooked, aspects of one of the most well-trodden rooms in any given house. Not only must they fit in with the appearance of the kitchen, and the house overall, but they have to be useful, low-profile, and safe. While square cabinet handles with corners may go well with a side table that gets low traffic, kitchen handles must be able to stand up to the test of time, and children if you have them. How exactly should you go about upgrading your old handles to something new and refreshing?
