Default Trunking and making holes

Hi DIY fans Have 2 questions

First, have a plank of wood (about 2 metres by 15 cm). It is about
1.5cm thick.

I need to scre it onto the wall and I have allocated and screwed out
5 holes on the plank t - which is where I wil lscrew through the wood
and into the wall

Question is what is the ebst way to accuratley drill into the wall
behidn so the holes in the wood match up with the ones I need o nthe
wall?


Simple. Buy a 6mm Bosch Multi Material Drill Bit
http://www.screwfix.com/prods/26900/...-Bit-6-x-100mm

Position the wood & drill right through wood & wall in one go - at about mid
point. Insert hammer fixing
http://www.screwfix.com/prods/28374/...0mm-Pack-of-50
and whack in 90%

Level the timber & drill & fix as above at top or bottom. Check level,
insert other 3 fixings as above.

Stuff can be bought at B&Q if you don't have a Screwfic depot handy.
