Situation is that SWMBO wanted me you put up curtain rods over two 8' high
by 6' wide sliding doors.
Packaged with the rods and #8 x 1-1/4 screws are some plastic anchors which
resemble white tubes with a split on both sides and a couple wings.
Instructions said to use a 3/16" bit. Thought I was just drilling through
sheetrock but I was very quickly into wood.
I tried to get the anchor in but it refused so I drilled the hole deeper.
It still didn't want to go in without bending.
So then I tried a 1-1/2" screw but I had drilled too deeply into the wood
for the screw to hold.
What to do now? Only idea I'm having is to cram some toothpicks into the
hole and use a screw.
Changing the location of the bracket is not an option.
BTW, the bracket and screwheads will be visible. Any thoughts or ideas will
be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
