I'm sure there's a simple solution that I'm not privy to, for the secret of getting things to stay fixed into my unbearable, heat retaining but apparently necessary, wall of celotex.
My wall now looks like Al Capone has been target practicing but still has nothing hanging on it.
I was advised, and tried and failed with brass cavity anchor, then blue plastic heavy duty plasterboard hollow wall fixings, and some Helta Skelta looking grey fixings. None of these do much but twist round in the celotex with the screw I attempt to put in.
My next advice was to get a stud wall detector to seek out the wooden upright which I'm sure you can guess proved pointless as it seemed to like to play games and beep at random just to tease me and create another hole. I tried a lot of tapping as I've seen it done on the telly, but just annoyed the neighbours.
If anyone out there thinks they may have a sensible suggestion to how I can increase the profits of my local DIY store again with another box of tricks I would welcome any ideas...oh and what's a good filler?
