Oh please help me wise mumsnetters, before I scream or cry or both.
ds has two windows on his room, I have to do this twice! Above the window there is just a massive concrete lintel. It must be a foot tall. No matter where we drill, we hit concrete after about 2 cm, maybe 3. Our previous effort into a wooden plinth lasted 2 years but they’ve now come down. There is nowhere in the wall left to drill and everywhere is the same. And to make it worse, it’s not brick, it’s thermalite and the wall is turning to powder in my hands.
Ive just spent hours planning, measuring, drilling- proper rawl plugs and everything- the plugs just pull out of the crumbling plaster and there is no ‘bite’ at all. what a waste of my life. I’m so frustrated I could scream.
how the hell do I get a curtain rail up!??? Am I missing something?
