Nah, I gotta disagree on this one. Those structural screws can snap under shear way easier than a real lag bolt. Seen it happen on a job last year, not worth the risk if you ask me.

Ugh, that wait is the actual worst. It turns a tiny fix into this huge mental block. You stare at the thing every day and it just mocks you. All that delayed gratification for like two turns of a screwdriver. Makes the final fix feel kinda anti-climactic after all that angst. Still, at least it's over now.

Your place is so dated it's practically retro now.

Honestly, @parkerw14, calling it toddler art might be too harsh on yourself. Toddlers just paint without overthinking, which can be kinda cool. So your special skill could be more about bold expression than messy work.
