    I did, in the ceiling of a laundry room. We were able to hang clothes to dry from the ceiling with industrial magnets! Loved that ceiling!

    installed a eaves vent in both sides of my metal outdoor shed. Shit was soaked inside because of the roof condensating so much. Also swapped out my sunroom exterior door knobs/locks with the Kwikset smart key knobs. Now everything is the same exact key. Simple weekend but effectively making things easier.

    Also installed my Nest Hello doorbell.

    I’m sure this it pretty easy for most of y’all but I can’t figure out the best way to attach this cross brace. Thought I could hit it with my nail gun but not enough room for it. Any tips? I don’t have any extravagant tools. Mostly automotive and and basic hand tools.

    I thought about that but not much room to swing the hammer. Want to try and make the hardware as unnoticeable as possible.

    Screws.

    Use wood filler in the holes.

    This is why I use a subcontractor for all of my drywall work, he's amazing, and more importantly I dont have to do it.
