Curtain rod installing. Thanks in advance Yesterday I had to install some curtain rods, so I sat in the car and went to a hardware store, where I bought something around 20 screw anchors. I had to go for 8x100 ones, because it was a drywall I had to install the curtain rod on so I thought the screws should be long enough to make it to the concrete behind the drywall. When I came home it took me a few minutes before I was ready to start the "installation". During that time, my father had kind of been indulging into the how-tos of the installation by “drumming” the drywall, trying to feel where the backers were. Eventually he found two symmetrical spots where the drywall was backed with wood. That made things much easier; even if there was a seam at where I was drilling, it wouldn’t be a problem as the wood made good enough a basis for the screws to sit in. So I picked up the hand drill and made some pilot holes. Then it was time for the hammer drill. I connected it to the socket through an extension cord and deepened the holes. Having done that, I secured the brackets and it was it. Curtain rod Installation* (can't edit the title)
