The wall between the kitchen and bath
Before I attempt to mount these baskets I wanted to make sure there were no water or electrical lines in the mid-bath wall.

Anyone know?

It is a double wall... correct?

ON EDIT: Just spoke with Todd. Yes it is a hollow wall and he's pretty sure there is no electrical or water there however he said he'd confirm and email me in a couple of hours.

Pretty sure there is no water there, not sure about electrical.  You may also want to ask him about the wall on the other side (between the oven area and fridge) while you’re at it. Folks like to hang stuff on that side as well.

"...no water or electrical lines in the mid-bath wall."

That wall is essentially the same as my 30'. I have an acrylic set of shelves mounted on that wall. I seem to remember that I used very short screws there, although I've used double sided 'Dual Lock' on many such applications. See: iTapeStore.com.

At any rate you will no doubt find water lines that are common to both sides but they will be lower than the two sinks. Look under your kitchen sink to see what I'm saying!  :o

Todd confirmed there isn't anything in that wall.

I may be a bit late but there is a similar Command Strip shelf that would not require screws in the wall. I use 3 of these in my MB bathroom.

I saw those but two things. 
We like the baskets we have better and the Command strips don't stick very well to the vinyl wallpaper I've read.

I think for the shower they'd be real nice.

I'll see how this goes.

I was careful to snug the screws and not over tighten them.

Hi Ted;  Well more permanent steel expanding anchors in the wall:  RV Thin Wall Anchor Mount Anchor - Repair RV Wall Screw Failure | eBay  The bad part is they leave a big hole when removed.

I like that polypropylene anchor.
I wonder if the hollow space in that wall is wide enough for them to fit?

I could get these as a backup plan.

Scratch that.
I just ordered these along with a set tool.

Hi Ted; I think you'll find that the 1/4" x 20 anchor is way more than you need.  One of the reviewers said it needed a 1/2" hole just to insert it. Lazy Daze walls are generally about 1-1/4" thick, you can start to collapse the 'nut' after it is partly inside the wall.  They do have a tendency to want to spin inside the wall as they are collapsing. I couldn't see if this version had the 'non-spin' ears on it.  I suggest you try these on a 1/8" piece of scrap plywood first.  I would have gone for the 6-32, or 8-32.  More than strong enough to support your baskets compared to what the wall can support in weight.  Button head (hex) stainless screws are available down to really small sizes.   RonB

I may have gotten a little carried away with that order. I will see when they get here if I'm interested in using them.
