Hi,

I tried to put some shelves up in my rented room only to find the brick
crumble under the drill I ended up with 5 fairly big holes, the wall
just seems to crumble under the drill bit. Is there any hope of putting
up shelves on this wall or would it just not take the weight?

TIA

the wall will take teh weigt, you need to spread it - use long fixings and
pack around with mortar or car body filler.
