The art of not drilling into electricity, water pipes and drains?

Got the tricky one in place now, this is how it turned out:

Applied some no nails pattex glue behind each bolt and above the door. However, I missed scraping off the paint first, but I hope it holds up reasonably well anyway. Just above the door, it is currently under pressure to improve load-bearing.

As you can see in the last picture, one of the screws went in crooked (couldn't get in as well with the hammer drill), which obviously caused it to cut into the wood a bit.

I was silly enough to put some glue in the drilled holes, which quickly proved to be a problem for 2 of the holes, the plugs couldn't be inserted all the way and were sticking out almost 10 mm. There was nothing else to do but cut it off. However, the bolts held well, so I hope that won't cause any issues.

Now, only the next one needs to go up too, and it's much easier to set up. Although I need to keep an eye out so that the drill doesn't go through the wall to the bathroom on the other side.

Nice!

Thank you! Now everything is in place!








Let's hope it holds in the long run as well.

The linan was purchased at ÖB and is a reinforced linan with steel wire in the core; despite that, it feels quite elastic, but it's probably on the outside. If this doesn't work, it'll be rubber-coated wire.

Clever with a turnbuckle to tighten it!
I personally use paracord, mostly because I had it at home when the old classic clothesline gave out.
I had to retighten it once, but now I think it maintains its tension quite well.
