Thanks to JamieGeek and VKB for the input on the shower rod upgrade. Ordered the Amazon "ARC" as suggested by Jamie and it arrived as described. For the inside wall next to the medicine cabinet, I used hollow door anchors - easy to install and no danger of penetrating the bedroom wall. I was also able to use them on the outisde wall. I did get luck enough to hit one metal stud so the pack of 5 hollow door anchors from Lowes did the job. Just need to patch the 12 holes from the original track - Almond Color silicone caulk and it should look as good as new. The shower will gets its first use with the new rod on a trip to Fredricksburg in a couple of weeks.
