Vent covers in finished basement
My vent covers keep falling to the ground in my newly finished
basement. I don't want to use screws to hold them up as it will put a hole in the vent cover and a hold in the gyprock. Any other idea on how to hold them into place without putting holes in the vents ? Tks. |
