Just wondering if anyone had any advice before I embark on this. After attempting to drill holes for a new curtain rail and discovering a steel (I think) lintel, I've decided the easiest solution is to nail a 1 inch thick wooden batten with masonry nails into the wall and screw a simple curtain rail to that.
Is there any benefit in hammering the nails in at a slight angle (downwards, into the plaster) as opposed to flat horizontal? It seems this might provide a bit of counter balance to the weight of the curtains, or am I wrong.
Any other tips/common pitfalls would be appreciated (I'm a total newbie at this)
Cheers!
