How do you hang things on plaster walls?
I am trying to hang curtain brackets (with heavy curtains) on my plaster walls a plain screw goes right through…what type of spcial hardware do I need to hang stuff on a plaster wall?
Anchors won’t hold the weight you’re talking about. What you need is called a "toggle bolt". You can find a picture of one here:
http://alsnetbiz.com/homeimprovement/howto_hang_pictures.html
On that site, you will also find something called a Molly Bolt which may also suit your needs. That is the bolt that T is describing. Mollys are used for heavy objects that will not move, like your curtain brackets, but moving the curtains will place added stress on them, and they may not be up to the task if your curtains are as heavy as you are suggesting.
My money is on the Toggle Bolt. Get the Toggle Bolts with the metal nut, not the plastic ones. It will only cost you a few cents more, but will take about 5 times as much stress.

How to patch up a plaster wall?
Ok long story short I got angry today and smashed a weak spot in my plaster wall. I covered it up with a photo but sooner or later my parents are gonna find out.
The damage is basically a slightly depressed 3 quarter-circle crack with the remaing quarter still attached to the rest of the wall. How can I do a near seamless patch up of this? I’m quite good with my hands and have some DIY knowlege and planning to buy some ready-to-mix plaster, fill the depression in, sand it off and then coat it with a little paint. Would this be the best way? If you know a better way or have any tips it would be much appreciated! Thank you!
Your fix is exactly what I would do. But, you might want to tell your parents anyway, and tell them you would be more than happy to fix it, it was your fault. Best line a parent loves (at least this parent) "Yes, I learned something from this"! As a mom, I would know that my kid was fixing something, I would smell the paint fumes, mom’s have a 6th sense. Good luck.
