Dead Simple Charging Station

Jake von Slatt — Fri, 12/05/2008 - 13:59

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.

This 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 "formal" entrance, but point taken.

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