Off the hook, on the hook.

[vakkotaur]

The coat hooks by the back door were part of a system that looks neat until it's thought about. It was a couple plastic pieces screwed to the wall (well, to a good board mounted on the wall) and plastic hooks fit into place on those pieces. With heavy winter coats, heavy cloaks, and the like the load became too much for some of the hooks. The mounting tabs bent enough that they didn't stay mounted reliably.

Today some new hooks were bought and the old system taken down. The new hooks were spaced to take advantage of (cover up) the old mounting holes, and with new holes drilled as needed, the hooks were installed on the board. After that, jmaynard and I sorted through what had been hanging there and removed a few items that we don't expect to use often. Now there is less of a load on what should be stronger hooks, one internal door can open farther since there is less stuff behind it and one Winter item Jay forgot he had turned up... just in time for him to hopefully not need it for several months, even if it was snowing a little for a bit today.
