Can you post a pic of it open?
Sure thing:
Above the filter is like, a hole in the ceiling leading to I assume the air intake for my AC (heat is radiator). You can see the frame (with its 2 screw holes) mounted into the ceiling as well.
I'd be happy if larger screws were the solution. Given the need to remove and replace the screws repeatedly (every 3 mo or so for new filter?) should I worry that screws will just naturally deteriorate the drywall and then eventually leave me with the same problem again?
(Also, a while back I posted about weird ceiling nipple things where various contractors have not been able to remove fixtures and leave the ceiling flat/blank. I assume that's the case with this weird thing in the corner of the kitchen, too.
