Hi All

So many posts just peter out, never to be seen again. Do you ever
wonder....................................?

Did Mitch ever fix his sink down?

Did Weaver ever burn out his fence post?

Did Gogs ever buy a circular saw?

Did Blair ever drill his tiles?

What happened to Mogweeds walls?

Did Mo ever lay his carpet?

What happened with Egremonts mobile phone?

Did Simon move his washing machine?

Did Dave ever unblock Georges nozzle?

And the one I'm waiting for - did Andy Luckman ever get that drill bit out?

Sad, but I need to know!!!!!

Given the number of diy injuries per year, chances are all the above
posters are still in hospital from their attempts.

ISTR Andy heated up the drill bit to shatter the stone to pull it out,
and as he pulled, no less than 3.4m of drill bit came out. Apparently
the heat softened it enough for the metal to draw, and the tip only
became free once it had shrunk down to about 2.8mm. He now has a
softened 3.4m 2.8mm bit, which should be useful for drilling through
very very very deep loft insulation to run cables. Thin cables, for
bells. But not much else.
