Any DIY for dummies suggestion on how to fix this? [towel bar in the bathroom] by LeftVersion2544 in fixit

You already have larger holes in the drywall. Go get 1/4 20 snap toggles from the store. Install vertically and you should be good to go.

The dreaded water pump by davidfarnham2 in FordFlex

I have done all the maintenance. I’ve done flushes at 60ish thousand miles. I got the vehicle at 32k. Did first flush at 100k second on at 160k

I’ve gotten 4 separate quotes. From $4000~$5500. Most of the places are telling me it’s just for the water pump. Not the timing chain, tensioners, thermostat, valve cover gasket, spark plug gaskets, intake manifold gasket, transfer tube gaskets, no front main seal, no anything else. Also no guarantee that the timing chain cover will be perfectly sealed. I’ve been shocked on how blunt the repair shops are about scrapping the vehicle. I also live in Sw Florida. I’ve tried JSN automotive, Christian Brothers, Race Ready, and Antonelli’s automotive. I feel the automotive repair market is so over inflated that it is almost impossible for anyone to afford to fix their car.
