Lunchtime - McRoberts is walking over to Dorn hardware during his lunch break to pick up some anchors. While he is gone, I tried to unscrew the top toggle-bolt and in in doing so, caused both toggles to deploy. So it looks like the top is secure now.
12:52PM - McRoberts returns with heavy-duty metal anchors. After widening the bottom hole a bit, he epoxies the hole and the anchor and inserts. We will wait several minutes before securing the hoop to allow ample time for the epoxy to harden.
1:20PM - The epoxy has hardened and we have secured all bolts & screws. Never has the hoop been stronger! While we're at it, Robbo and I decided to epoxy the missing hoop-link as well (to get rid of the ugly duck tape). We're currently letting that dry.
1:32PM - Everything's done. This could be the hoop's finest moment. Huge props to McRoberts for making this happen (the man purchased an anchor, brought in epoxy, and he isn't even a B-member). Let's play some basketball!
