I had an extremely rare experience today; I thought of an easier way to
do something *before* I did it the hard way, rather than after.
I just raised the sagged shelf up a bit on some stacked cans, held the
screw in the pliers, heated the tip red hot with the torch and melted it
into that busted off plastic peg. I waited a couple of minutes, grabbed
the screw with the pliers and pulled the peg out quicker than you can
say Jill Robinson. Oh yeah, I'd borrowed a mirror out of wifey's purse
to let me see where to stick that hot screw in.
File the idea away, it could make you look like a genius in front of
SWMBO some day. G
Happy Holidays,
