Q: My house was custom-built four years ago and I truly love it, but I'm very concerned about the garage-door framing; the bottoms of the studs get wet every time it rains. Contractors I've talked to tell me to leave it alone, but I don't want to have extensive repairs when I'm 80 and can't afford to deal with them.

If you need to attach a mirror, towel rack, or similar object to a hollow-core door, use a hollow-wall anchor, such as a molly or toggle. Bore the appropriate-size hole through the door skin, insert the anchor, and then tighten it until it fits snug. Finally, secure the object, making sure you use the proper-size screws.
