I have everything!!!!! « on: March 28, 2025, 02:30:50 PM » Author: suzukir122
I've got everything that I need in order to start this floating shelf up-lighting idea... 11 floating shelves, 11 3foot two lamp fixtures, 11 Rapid Start ballasts, a drill, drywall anchors along with screws that came with them, wood screws for the studs, stud finder, a Ryobi laser leveler, and a step ladder. I can begin this project at anytime at this point. The one thing that I'm stuck on is the drywall anchors. Despite great reviews, and despite the claim that they can hold up to 75 pounds, I'm still a bit concerned. Should the drywall anchors be able to hold up these shelves with no issues?

All right! Now for the hard part, actually putting everything together!

Yeah putting everything together might be somewhat difficult... but the main thing that's frustrating is the fact that I have to use drywall anchors. The ones I've bought have claims that say they're strong and reliable... plenty of great reviews, etc. But even so, I'm still not completely confident. Other than that, I think that setting this all up should be easy, especially with the laser leveler that I just bought.
