I recently moved into a brand new house and after a week decided to wall mount my 40" LCD
I had used a stud detector to check for electrics and all was good.
Drilling the holes for the mounting bracket and was on the 2nd last one when I had a strange premonition, i paused then thought - what if i hit water pipe like that fool on the dominos advert,I thought the stud detect should pick that up and continued, right then after removing the drill from the wall i got a gush of water in my eye, temporarly blinded and in shock and panic!
I reached for a screw driver and preceded to stab the wall like a maniac tearing the plaster board away as i stabbed.
I found the hole in the pvc radiator piping, got it spot on in the middle (whats the odds ) and did a temp fix with duct tape.
sunday night and not willing to call a plumber and spend my next wage packet, so it had to do.
next day bought a coupling and plaster mix and board and all is well now, exept for the nightmares of the incident and the shakes whenever i put drill to wall.
