I'm looking to plasterboard a VERY rough limestone wall in my loft conversion. For the most part I have (am going to) dot & dab it on but one section of wall i intend to fix timber battens and screw boards to this (because it is particularly uneven (+/- 50mm or more) and i need to bring the wall out 50mm anyway). I'm going to fix the battens with wall plugs but i'm having trouble drilling for them. If i drill into the limestone it just laughs back at me and if i try and fix into the mortar it just crumbles away when i tighten the screws. Anyone any tips/suggestions?? Could i chip out a small section of mortar where my screws are going and fix the plugs in with fresh mortar and tighten once thats cured?
