I am not Bob Villa

This is an email I just sent to Greg:

I thought I'd try to put up the robe hook and towel ring [in the bathroom] as those don't need to be leveled. I pulled out your drill and discovered:

1) Dry wall anchors scare me.
2) I think this job requires four hands.
3) The anchor for the robe hook is as long as the bathroom door is wide.

Because of these factors, I chose to stop what I was doing. However, I did do the following:
1) Sweep and clean the bathroom floor.
2) Replace the cabinet knobs (now THAT was fun and easy with a screwdriver).
3) Put up the wreath, photo, and one more wall hanging on the walls using nails and James's hanger.
4) Clean the sink of paint splatters.

So now, the bathroom looks relatively clean and useable. From what I could tell, the towel ring and robe hook will be "easy", but I'm afraid of putting such big holes in the wall by myself.

Just FYI, it's on its way.
