fun with drills, part I

on a good day, my and jacky's apartment is simply 'cozy'. on a bad day, it feels like joe and francis (our cats) are under your every step and our combined over-abundance of craft supplies is coming out of your ears. throw three bikes into the mix and our living room starts to resemble my parents' garage: packed to the brim. i recently got fed up with the bike roulette we'd gotten into the habit of playing, and decided to put up bike hooks. i borrowed a friends' drill and tried my skills putting in a fancy new toilet paper holder, then stepped it up a notch and went stud-hunting in the living room. the hooks have held up so far, we keep the lighter two of the three bikes hanging on them, and the space is so much better to hang out in. check it out!



i've got a couple more tricks up my sleeve before keenan gets his drill back, just wait!

When we had our bikes in our one bed room apt. I felt the same way. I would constantly be knocking them over and every thing would crash.... Good idea chica!

I heard you received some REALLY good info from your dad re finding the studs in your walls without opening a hole into your neighbors bathroom.
