Dead Simple Charging Station

Here's a dead simple cell phone charging station I installed next to our main entrance. It's just a pair of hangers of the sort you'd use in the garage to store a shovel or a rake. If your wall isn't made of barn-board like ours, you can screw the hangers into a block of wood and use regular drywall anchors to attach it.

Note: if you have an older phone with a transformer type wall wart you'll want to add a power strip with a switch since those older supplies drew nearly the same amount of power when disconnected from the phone as they did when charging it.

celeron — Sat, 12/06/2008 - 12:33This looks like a really, really bad idea for pet owners; the device being charged is barely mounted in a stable fashion. Besides, it honestly does not look very attractive for a main entrance.
Good to see new posts though. Keep up the good work =)
Our main entrance is not our

As for pets, no problems so far with our puppy, but he's a good dog! yes he is!
