problem?
So we're putting up a curtain pole with brackets at either end and one in the middle. The left hand bracket seemed a bit higher than the other two but it wasn't lying completely flat so should have just needed a tweak.
Can I just point out at this point, DH has done everything up to now. So, he tries to take out the two screws from the left bracket and he can't get them out (after a big of investigation from me it turns out he's knackered the screw heads by using an electric screwdriver with too big a head).
So after trying pliers he decided to use a crowbar to try and get one of the screws out and succeeds in pulling the head off the screw. So, now we're left with the shaft of the screw poking out. What on earth do we do with it now? Is our best bet to try and pull the raw plug out with what's left of the screw with it? This might prove tricky as there are no obvious bits to grab hold of.
I managed to get the other screw out by carefully using a normal screwdriver of the right size (smug emoticon).
