Hi,

Just brought a clothes rail from ikea. Gave the wall a few taps to find the non hollow areas and started to screw.

On the right where the plaster wall meets another wall is solid.

On the left which is a corner I started screwing and found a thin metal sheet (guessing the bit that makes the corner and joins the board and nothing solid behind to screw into.

So I moved in a inch and decided to use a spring toggle on the hollow plaster. After drilling in over an inch with a 14mm drill there was still plaster and no signs of it stopping.

Should there be something there?
