Kraco, what exactly are you going to put on those shelves.

Some random stuff that won't suffer from being stored in the bathroom. The shelf itself (or two of them, should I install both) were made by cannibalizing my old desk and are consequently really heavy. I originally believed the walls separating the bathroom from the rest of the apartment were particle board, not that useless drywall, and thus able to carry any manner of reasonable weight. I guess I could opt to use lighter shelves, but honestly I went through so much work to saw, sand, and repaint the desk board that I can't abandon them.

But hey, thinking about this isn't making me smile! Only the little stud finder device did!

That's cool. If you found multiple studs you can run a lateral brace (piece of wood horizontally) and use triangle shelf brackets (2 or 3 depending on how long the shelf is) it should comfortable hold more that 80 lbs (including the weight of the wood being used). It won't matter if it's drywall that is exposed to moisture because the weight would be held by the studs and the pressure will be distributed along the drywall by the lateral brace.

p.s. 80 lbs might be pushing it but will hold anything you decided to put on it.
