Topic: First few mods to 179 - this is fun! Posted: 09 May 2018 at 10:38pm |

Ben Herman, thanks for the photos and explanations I really like seeing how you did your shelf and ran the wiring. I have some questions though like what is a "molly bolt" for hallow core doors? Also I believe our Pod walls are only about 1" thick and you said you used these molly bolts that are 1" long so it makes me wonder how you avoid punching through the wall? I know these might be stupid questions but it has me scratching my head because I believe when I used a 1 1/8" screw to replace the awning support bracket screws the tips poked through the wall into the interior and I had to replace them with 1" screws if I remember correctly.

This is the type of anchor that I used: 1 inch long. I think that 1 1/8" might punch through. I can get them at my local True Value hardware.

And according to the experts here, our wall thickness is 1-5/16" thick so a 1" bolt is good.

No problem, if you need more info let me know - I'm a newbie but have already gotten so much help from other forum members.

Does nobody else have problems extending the top drawer under the sink? I tried it once, but the extension hit the drain trap and wouldn't allow the drawer to close.

??? Are you talking about extending it or closing it? Sounds like the latter. Did you happen to swap drawers?
