Wall anchor problem

[dizzycooks]

What am I doing wrong? I drilled a 1/4" hole like it said but these anchors are clearly bigger than that. What am I doing wrong?

[dizzycooks]

I'm an idiot. Please ignore me.

I'm sorry.

Nice! For the record, I will likely never attempt to hang curtains myself!

What are you doing? You just had a baby! You need to be relaxing not hanging curtains!!!

(Warm weather climate dweller here) what's the gold vent looking thing on the floor? Is that where your heat/AC comes out?

Yes. It's a heating/cooling vent. Previous owners changes the covers a variety of different patterns and I haven't bothered making them more neutral or matching yet. I'm putting a bench over it so soon you won't see it anyway.

quesyrah I didn't realize you were warm weather (Alabama?) where does your ac come from if not a vent?

This exactly. You've dealt and done with more these past two weeks then I can fathom in a year! Sit down on the couch

Your problem is you have a 2 week old! Go sit and drink coffee. ?

I assume you figured out how they're supposed to work by now?

I'll be sitting with my coffee come nap time. In the mean time dd1 was gone at school and dd2 and 3 were sleeping so I had a few quiet moments. Did not expect it to take two hours. I find it almost impossible to do nothing and now that the girls are all up and home it's almost impossible to get anything done. I appreciate the reminders and concern though, my stitches were very sore last night so I know I overdid it yesterday.

I live in Southern California. Our vents are near the ceiling.
