    I frelling give up...

    I'm mechanically challenged when it comes to using carpentry tools and I"m trying to hang a frelling shelf in my room by drilling the screws into studs in the wall....

    One problem: they only go halfway before they stop and end up stripping the screws....

    anyone have any ideas on what the hell is going on and is it okay if I just go ahead and not screw it into the wall (its essentially an untreated wall, essentially)...

    thoughts b/c I'm going nuts....

            Should have stayed awake in shop class.

            I own 2 tools, a hammer and a screw driver. If I can't fix it with them...screw it, it dosen't get fixed.

              Are you sure that you have wooden studs and not metal studs?

                      You need to pray to the master carpenter for guidance, my son.
