I was putting up a shelf today. I misplaced a screw. I found it. I don't think it matters though because that last screw was into plaster so it's not going to be doing much. It's okay though I'm pretty sure I hit a stud on the other two or maybe the lath. Which was expected. Level was like "that ain't level" and I was like yeah okay but if I get it level it won't look level. I don't think it was far off though and it's not like I'm putting my marbles there. Maybe my eggs but that shouldn't be a problem. Okay thanks for reading!

I feel you Op. My house was built in about 1740 and there isn't a single truly square corner or wall.

Well it says bunch of red lights. Magnet found what I believe to be sets of screws. Felt like I drilled into something that wasn't plaster 2 out of 3 times. Twice. So yeah I've got this.

You know looking at this shelf again, it doesn't look straight and level. How could this be? Hmmm guess I'll fix it.

If this thread hits 5 I'll post sweet pictures. Don't you want to see those cool pictures? You'll get to see what shelf I am using. Is it mdf? Is it fancy wood? What species? Bubinga? Walnut? Maple with spalting? Ambrosia maple? Some sort of burl? Is it metal? Wired? Cool paint? Boring white/black/grey?

https://shelfology.com sells shelves. This shelf is not from them, but I might buy a shelf from them. Pricier than the shelves I bought but it comes in colors and is less deep than the shelf I bought.
