OK, so Z can't hang a curtain rod and I don't know how either. I'd hoped that since he has more aptitude than I do in these sorts of things, that perhaps he'd have a shot. But at this point, he mastered the use of the drill, only to discover that there was a stud there instead of the hollow wall, and so he refuses to work anymore.

How do you hang up a curtain rod in a plaster wall with a stud behind it?
I do not know and Z refuses to try anything else.


At this point, I do not know how anyone has curtains ever.

I just figured that since I'm spending hours making the curtains, and he's not doing any housework or gardening or maintenance work at all, and since he's got a lull in projects after having two weeks off already, maybe he could be given a small task. I have four thousand other things to do and know for a fact that I get along with power tools about as well as water catches fire, and have the scars to prove it.

He should be able to pre-drill a hole in the stud. I have a bunch of drill bits if you need help.
