Preview — The Goal
🎯 The Goal: Mounting a heavy shelf, TV, or mirror into bare drywall is a delayed-action disaster — drywall is compressed chalk that holds a poster, not fifty pounds of television. Everything heavy must anchor into a STUD: the vertical wood framing hidden behind the wall every 16 inches. Find the stud, and your mount holds for decades. Miss it, and you get the 2 a.m. crash plus a fist-sized hole (see the drywall patch lesson — written by people who missed).
