Today I just wanted to put up two new towel racks and a toilet paper dispenser. You wouldn’t think that this should be a big deal, or that difficult for that matter. Unfortunately, it turned into about an entire day project.

After taking the old fixtures off the wall, I needed to fill in the screw holes and whatnot. So I picked up some goop and some plain white paint. Well, the paint didn’t really match the wall since the wall is just old and faded, so I ended up having to paint the entire wall. I hadn’t really planned on this portion of the project.

Then, of course, the paint has to dry so I couldn’t just put up the fixtures. Once I did get around to putting them up, I managed to put two out of the three on the wall. The main towel rack, however, was missing one of the set screws, so I’ll have to see if the store will believe me and exchange it. I’m just worried they’ll think I lost it and won’t do anything for me, but I’ll have to see. Anyway, the project took way longer than I had anticipated, and it kind of irritated me.
