Our son recently moved into a new house, so my husband built a beautiful oak display shelf as a housewarming gift. But when he went to hang it on the wall, he couldn’t find any studs. He decided to drill some holes and use anchor bolts to secure the shelf to the wall. It looked great. The next day my son went to use the washing machine in the adjacent room. To keep the noise down, he decided to close the pocket door to the room. It wouldn’t budge. After a few seconds of inspection, he realized the anchor bolts were fastened through the door. The shelf is now hanging on a different wall, and the door works fine, but all agree, it looks much better closed!
