Ray Helm, who apparently managed a hardware store for many years, in this lesson teaches us about three different types of drywall anchors. It's pretty straightforward and informative as he shows you how to use three different types. He even further and shows you what happens when you try to remove each of the different types. Overall, very nice targeted lesson.

Room for improvment: the production could have been a little better on this. Specifically, the location was backlit and there was some street noise. Finally, the camera resultion seemed a little spotty at time and the closeups weren't as clear as you'd like.

Overall though, it does the job, and it does it better than any book or set of photos ever could. Good job Ray!
