:FYI, the real man's tool is this, would have done the job in five minutes: : :
Nah Joerg, that machine has been superseded....
You can also screw the wood piece into the good sheetrock around it. If you're messing with mud anyway, screws are easy to cover.
Even more reason to screw the backer board to the wall. There are some great inserts that thread into sheetrock that take a #8 or #10 screw that really work well for towel bars. I prefer to screw towel bars straight into studs if at all possible.
Wow! Looks like a man's version of the "multi-function tool ;-)

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
Could be worse...
In my old college dorms, they had built with 1/2" drywall on 24" centers! A football player leaned on the wall and ended up in the next room...

If possible I try to get my wood piece to bridge stud-to-stud.
I'm with you, screw to stud, but repairing something someone else built can be painful :-(
I'm gradually replacing all the kitchen drawers with KV heavy duty drawer slides... full extension... 100# rating... fill 'em to the rim with silverware, what do I care ;-)

Happened to me. Grew up in Europe where drywall is considered cardboard. A wall means something made from bricks or concrete. Wanted to pull a panel off, didn't budge, pulled a little harder, panel came off, I flew backwards ... ka-crush. Big hole in the wall. My shoulder did not hurt a bit, I just had a lot of gypsum on my shirt.

A few months back I ordered a bunch (15) of the 22" KV full extension slides from Amazon. They were about 1/2 the price as they were locally (about $7 a pair). Amazon is really good for such things.

Sometimes... caution is advised... check price PLUS shipping ;-)

Oh, sure. Like anything else it pays to be able to read, unlike whiney weenies.
