If you find yourself in this situation, following behind an idiot house builder, you now have a myriad of choices for wall anchors that will hold better than a simple screw and you should also use an adhesive for the bracket to wall interface.



Lastly, buy a set of decent tools. I mean, c'mon. There are so many good tools out there and the Leatherman-style multi tool is not one of them. I don't even own one.

We block off for toilet paper holders, towel bars, and cabinets. My men know because they have to hang those things and if it pulls out, they have to go back to fix it. Cheap and quick. Just toe nail a few blocks on there and be done with it. I think they do it just so they don't have to hear me btich

Cliff, just buy one of those Japanese toilet seats. Toto makes a nice one. Put the damn thing up high and enjoy the cleaning. Toilet paper holder my ass is what yo need to tell your wife.
