Towel hooks

The good news is that after a crappy morning with the plumbing, I managed to do my towel hooks.  I raided my backyard again and cut some branches from a fallen tree (yep, a fallen tree - it's a big backyard.)

I sanded down one side of each so that I'd have a smooth surface to attach to the wall.  Then hung them by drilling holes in the wall and the branches and using dowel pieces.  The dowel is tight in the wall, but I made the holes in the timber just a little bit bigger so that they are sturdy, but I can still remove them if I need to.

I feel it's a pretty happy exchange for the boring chrome towel rail that used to be in there.  :)
