Day 578 Hitting a barn door

8th March 2019

I wanted to fit the support for the sliding barn door. I had bought everything before I went back to the US, so it should have been quite a simple job to do. The kit supplied was for fixing to solid walls, I had a stud wall. I needed to find some large wall plugs suitable for plasterboard. The hunt was on, I tried Wicks, Jewsons, Bradfords, and Travis Perkins, all of them did not have anything suitable, and what’s more, the sales assistants could not suggest any other places I could try.

So I was stuck, I had been out over two hours and achieved nothing.

Now I had another problem to solve.
