      Yo, Much Luv @DIY Creators. Hey, those drywall anchors you used. Do you know of anything like that, that would make drilling in Wall Paneling stronger? I never see anyone post about flimsy old wall paneling, but in the south, that's all most old homes have?

    Great stuff as usual.
    Very smart to show various ways to do you some steps, varying the tools and methods. This really helps beginners.
