Working in a local new build today, houses are springing up all over
the place round here.

Fixed a clock to a wall, single screw, clock had one of those upside
down keyhole slots. Downstairs cloakroom was on the other side of
the wall. Fixed a towel rail to the wall. Tapped the plugs into the
holes with the handle of a screwdriver and the wall shook so badly
the bloody clock fell off! Landed on a settee luckily and was
undamaged.

Still in the downstairs cloak, fitting a toilet roll holder.
Dropped a screw, rested my forearm on the lid of the WC to reach
down & get it & the piggin lid cracked in half! As thick as a fag
paper. Replaced it like for like from B&Q for £8.

Any clues as to the wobbly wall's construction ?
Simon.

Not Dave answering, but I would suspect something along the lines of
Paramount Partitioning - plasterboard/egg-crate/plasterboard and all held
together by something like 35mm square studding at the sides, top and
bottom.

Old fashioned stuff really for todays modern construction.

I thought there were regs for sound insulation between rooms now.
Surely these pathetic walls would not pass !
