  • Install a well anchored level shelf.

  • Plaster, sand the holes and repaint when you remove the shelf.

Very basic tools, very easy techniques, yet mind blowing how many people don't know how to do these things.

To be fair, most millennials aren't and haven't been homeowners. It took until 2022 for just over half of millennials to become homeowners.

If you have lived in apartments your whole life, you're most likely disallowed from doing anything of the sort.

When you're pushing 40 and you finally own a house, and for the first time in you're life you're allowed to modify the place you live, this is the first time you've had an opportunity to learn and practice such a skill.

I kind of don't really blame millennials for this one, although it is arguably an important skillset. Most of us haven't had living situations where we could do this, it's as simple as that.

I've never lived in an apartment where I was able to hang shelves, let alone paint the walls.
