Q: How do you choose the right anchor?

• <div><p>When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You&rsquo;ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. </p><p>Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. </p></div>

Q: How do you know if you need a new door frame?

Q: Can you do a bump out for a closet installation?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-a-bump-out-addition.htm">Bump-out additions</a> can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you&rsquo;re just looking to increase the space a little&mdash;not renovate the entire closet space. </p></div>

Q: Where are most load-bearing walls located?

• <div><p>Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.</p></div>

Q: Can a bungalow have a second floor?

• <div><p>Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.</p></div>
