New Skills

I have a long list of projects.  Thinking about the list I realized I have to learn some new skills.  First project is hanging my bathroom shelves.  Dave had made a spice rack for over his stove.  And I liked it, but not as a spice rack.  I'm not keeping my spices above the stove.  But I liked the design.  I commented about wanting some shelves in the bathroom for product.  Hair spray, gel, etc.  So he designed and built two for me.  In order to hang these shelves I need molly screws or some other good fastener. I don't want them falling off the wall.
I looked at Molly screws at Walmart and realized I know nothing about them.  That prompted a trip to Ace Hardware to talk to the guys in the know. Now I have the right Molly screws and will make my first foray into using them.  I understand how they work.  We have used them before, but I never watched how Dave did them.  Now I know this is no big deal.  Just a little thing, but it's a new thing for me.  So it will be a new skill.
Upcoming new skills will be using a pressure washer, staining, using Spackle, some new gardening skills.  I have a long list that will keep me busy for awhile especially since some of it is seasonal.
