feel like an idiot ... need help with what should be simple household fixes?

Question

ok i have a few problems that should be easily fixed but it seems like every time i touch something i make it worse. i'm trying to install these stupid towel bars in the bathroom and the anchors i pounded into the wallpaper just went right through the @!#$in wall. i attempted it again trying to cover the holes i've made and now i feel like i have to replace the wallpaper in the entire room. also there's this tiny little dotting of what looks like mold around the top of the shower. it whipes off but not completely. also ... there's a problem with the linolium tile. it looks like the previous owner used a harsh cleaner and then this pink stain started building up so there's a huge pink stain all around the toilet bowl. (looks like some kind of calcium buildup) i tried CLR the @!#$ doesn't work and i think i made it worse by spilling toilet bowl cleaner on it which made the stains pink and blue. now i feel like the floor needs to be re-tiled. i'm getting ready to burn the house down

Answer 1

Towel bars: Get a "stud finder" from the hardware store, affix the rack to solid wood instead of sheet rock.

Pink stuff in your toilet is flouride in the water. Try Dow scrubbing bubbles or Softscrub with bleach, use a "dobie" (mesh covered sponge) for scrubbing. Makes the work easy.

Don't worry about the floor, just throw down a mat!! Have an adult beverage and take a break. You'll do just fine with your projects. I'll even come help!

Answer 2

Try using a product referred to as Liquid Nails. (you can find it at any hardware store. I like to use windex on shower mold and try spraying in on the floor around the toilet. Spray and let it sit for awhile before wiping it clean. Repeat as necessary. (I also spray the windex on my linolium in the kitchen to clean the pores out)

Answer 3

i think of it relies upon...in line with danger the idiotic theory you're being pushed to have self assurance in holds real for the guy thats making you to have self assurance, and vice versa. yet having that reported, i'm fantastically indignant whilst somebody is attempting to tension their own perception down my throat collectively as I haven't any pastime in it. Now thats offensive. i admire human beings's theory, they may well be thoroughly distinctive than mine yet dont do the pushing thingy, its condescending.
