Speaking of DIY we’ve come unstuck with drilling holes does anyone know anything about this?
We’ve got a proper brick house and I think you’d call this an external wall (?) as it faces out into the garden. We’ve got skimmed plaster about a year old, amazingly we didn’t blow that out (which has happened before w our handyman in another room!) but we get to a certain point (about 80% of the wall plug length) and simply cannot drill any further? We have a reasonable drill with “hammer mode” but it’s certainly not a proper hammer drill. I think this must be some sort of concrete?
I said to cut the wall plug down and just bung it in, husband says don’t be ridiculous What would you guys do?
