Toilet Paper Holder

I know it might sound silly and ridiculous but today I learned something that I did not know yesterday...I learned how to fix a loose toilet paper holder. All it took is watching a video on Youtube, a trip to wonderland aka Home Depot (that place is now a little less intimidating after I spent 30 min roaming its endless aisles looking for bolts). point of this post is instead of asking someone to fix it for me I chose to do it myself regardless of how little I knew about it (had no clue how that metal rod just magically hangs to the wall hahaha). 

Now that I want to get started in REI I felt that learning little things here and there pertaining to houses will be beneficial in the long run. And I know that a toilet paper holder is something sooo miniscule but it boosted my confidence a tiny bit and gave me a small nugget of knowledge I did not have before and I will take that any day.

It is often the first step that is the hardest, it is often taking action towards something you are not that experienced at...today I overcame my intimidation and tackled my loose toilet paper holder maybe tomorrow I will overcome the fear of getting started in REI and buy my first investment property.

PS: always go with toggle bolts instead of plastic expansion anchors, trust me I am experienced now :)

Below are pictures of my proud work hahahaha
