I am having an awful problem which is driving me insane.
I have just moved into a new house and am trying to fit a roller blind in an upstairs room. The brackets for the blind mean that they have to be fitted to the roof of the window recess. My problem is though that the drill bits only get a little way in before hitting something solid. The drill I am using is quite a powerful corded drill. I am not sure whether it is concrete or steel - although when the drill touches it, it sounds more like steel. I have bought HSS drill bits of a good quality but I just can't get any further. It is really getting annoying now and I don't know what to do other than having to pay someone to fit them for me - I think that would cost a lot of money though
If you can help, please do. The brackets can't be fitted any other way and I can't afford to go and buy a very expensive drill. I have bought an angled drill adapter so that I can drill in the right place (tight in the corner of the window recess).
Thanks!
