Set about installing a new external light at the rear of the house today.
No problem until I get to the outside of the house, and I try and clip the
cable to the wall.

I have tried and tried to get the clips to go in, but I reckon the mortar
is more like reinforced concrete, the clips will only go halfway in before
bending over. The clips I am using are from TLC-Direct,
http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/TC58G.html in the past I have had no
problems getting them into walls etc, but we have just moved house, and
therefore into unknown territory.

Any suggestions or ideas??

thanks

Vernon


You can get from most electrical wholesalers, and perhaps B&Q plastic wall
plugs for the cable clip nails.......
