As for Bamboo Ben, yes he is tied up in my basement, just out of sight of the camera.
Mmmm. Bamboo Bondage!!
Actually, I could use his help. I thought it was such a good idea to use the glue gun to stick the bamboo to the walls. It worked like a charm. But now that winter has set in, the cool, dry air is causing some of the bamboo to twist and pop right off the walls. Has anyone else had this issue? If I could do it all over again, I would have put up some kind of wood instead of drywall so I could nail it in. Like I said, I just don't plan anything. :roll:
Sorry to say Fink, but your best bet would to do it all over again with the wood backing. You could also try to drill a pilot hole on an angle and either use finish nailz and or drywall screwz to angle them into the drywall. Straight in and they will pull out still. Use different anglez against each other. Toe Nail would be the word. Use some sort of construction adheisive also. Hopefully this will werk for you. You could also put a Base Board Runner on the bottom and top of the walls and screw them over the popping boo into the studs in the wall.
That's my 2 centz. Hope this helpz youz out.
