Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Wood can be unforgiving...
I replaced the hinges to our hall bath with offset ones so my FIL could use it with his walker (it got the door out of the way enough for him to roll in). It turns out that there's apparently a big nail or something from the framing behind the trim in the perfect spot to interfere with one of the longer hinge screws.

I ended up trying to use some plastic hollow-wall anchors to give the screw enough to bite into, but it's still not right (even after putting the "original" hinges back years later).

It's amazing how a "simple" job can be so difficult to do properly...

Good luck!

Cheers,
Scott.
New Yes, it is
That's why I have lots of wood to practice on. I will get it right when it counts.

I anticipate creating a wood shop. I really like working with wood. There is something about creating something with wood that feels really good. Before I create that wood shop I have to collect tools. I have to practice. I have to play. And I will enjoy my play.

Any project I do at this point is for fun.
