Help Please!!
Trying to fit Venetian blinds into the window recess.
The gap between the plasterboard and lintel is too narrow for a hollow wall plug.
I've gone for drilling the lintel. I've tried drilling the concrete lintel with a masonry bit, but the hole in the plasterboard keeps getting bigger.
I've started with a 4mm bit and worked up to a 6mm bit. I'm using the red plugs. Trouble is the drill seems to go through the concrete and into an empty space.
I'm then having trouble pushing the wall plug into the hole and then lining up the screw and bracket.
Taken ages to get now where. And the windows now has 4 big holes.
Has anyone got another method of fitting these blinds?
Any advice much appreciated!!
