When we first moved into our little apartment, I couldn't hang curtains in the living room because I didn't have a long enough curtain rod. It took me some time to find both rods and hardware. More than a month actually. Kiel hung them for me right before he left for college. They fell off the wall, and he went and got those drywall anchors and rehung them minutes before leaving.
They fell off the wall again - shoddy construction and many nail holes make for a weak wall. Drew managed to re hang them. And a week or so later, they fell off again. I asked my friend if her husband, a construction whiz, could come and try. But he has been too busy and otherwise occupied. I thought of hiring someone to do it, but doggone, I am not stupid. I will go to Home Depot and have them tell my what to use and do it myself.
So I did that. I used what they told me. It didn't work either. I finally decided to purchase huge ten penny nail spikes and hammer them into the wall and straight into the outside of the building if necessary. I did it this morning before I left for work while Drew was still sleeping. He never heard me. Go figure. Let's see how long they stay on the wall this time!
