Staining red oak for a slat wall around our fireplace. Hope to get it installed this week.

Was going to try to get the rust off my father’s crappy old hand plane (since restoring it would get me out of having to buy a hand plane of my own for now), but it doesn’t look like I’m going to get that far this week. Spent a couple of hours moving books around to clear some shelf space instead.

Reattaching my towel rack to my wall. It was held in with drywall anchors but those have failed so will either repatch and reattach or glue it back on. Depends on how done with it I am

Ideally, you’d want it anchored into a stud.

Ideally yes… This is a previous owners mistake I’m fixing. My options here are: reattach back using another drywall anchor (not my preferred option). Anchor one side into a stud and if the other side reaches it the other side into another stud and patch the holes or glue it back in place (again not ideal). I’m leaning towards option B here.

That doesnt sound fun at all. Would a drain snake work?

Edit: responding to @jarfil@beehaw.org. Sorry, still getting used to the Connect app.

The one I have doesn’t fit through the strainer, I’ll try to locate a thinner one, or some of those hair removal ziptie lookalikes (it likely isn’t hair stuck down there, but who knows).
