Hi Alexx Use the screws that Zampa recommended. You can get them at all the usual diy places. I would go for 28mm long Gyprocs myself. When you install them you will have to get them so that the head is just into the plaster board (not in too far but not protruding out either). If they...

Hi all. Completely agree and am amazed at the ignorant ineptitude of the Yanks, though not at all suprised. Bunch of animals with no concept of anything outside US borders. The one that got me was a woman moaning that she had had nothing to eat for 2 days. All well and good until the...

Hi Davie I have a similar project to do at the house i,ve just moved into in South Wales. It seems that the whole of the Rhondda Valley suffers from one form of damp or another! I found this on the net and others have recommended it to me too so i,ll give it a go. Hope this helps. Andy...
