I`m in a 1930s built ex-council house, and the walls upstairs are made of
some horrendously soft material (compressed ash I think) - short of using
chemical anchors as mentioned in another current thread, are there any
simple ways of getting a fixing into the cr@p my walls are made out of ?

Even the smallest of jobs like fixing socket back-boxes is damn near
impossible ! Its so soft you can almost jam a screwdriver in to the hilt
with very little effort, and i`m not sure how small the chemical anchors
come !

TIA :-}
