I figured out how the towel rack works

catalyst2Yes, yes, you hang the towels over it - that bit I get but what I couldn't figure out was why the rack was getting looser and looser every day. Finally the rack fell of the wall today and I finally figured it out.
My father-in-law put the rack last year during our great renovation spree so I never knew, beyond the generalities, how this particular rack went up. Now that I could see it in pieces I realised that there was a tiny recessed screw on the underside of the rack that tightened into the wall bracket and this had come loose. It took about tens seconds to fix once I knew that but the obscurity of the design amazed me - the screw was tiny, recessed and on the underside of the bracket so it was near-impossible to see!
Stupid design - that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
