So I need to do the following:
Put up a wooden plate with 4 coat hooks on it in the hall;
Put up a short pine shelf in DD's room
I feel like a total failure - and I want my dad - he was a joiner and was always making stuff, putting up stuff etc. I've got the stuff and one of those stud/wire detector thingys but I know I'm going to make a right arse of it. I got a hammer drill a year ago and some masonry bits and have used it once to put up a toilet roll holder in the bathroom and it fell off and there are now 2 holes in the plaster in the toilet wall. I'm getting a new bathroom in soon so they'll fix everything up in there but surely I can put up these 2 things. They come with screws and rawlplugs but I don't know what size drill bit to use or even what my walls are made of - think it's brick covered in plaster. And how deep a hole do you drill - does it matter if you're using plugs? Help, I really want to be able to do bits about the house and if I can manage these then hopefully that'll give me the push to get on with some other niggly stuff that needs doing.
