How long to fit a bit of dado trunking?
2nd year apprentice had the task.
I had already drilled the holes and fitted the red rawl plugs. About a 2m length of dado. He has access to a screw box and an impact driver (with a proper PZ2 bit fitted). So how long? -- Adam |

I see the comedians are out today.
You mean he had to put holes in the thing and actually screw it up? No double sided tape or glue? Radical man. Should take less than an hour, but probably about three, as he could not find the right sized screws. Brian -- ----- -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff...

Or get all the plaster off the wall as he did it.

Those cup washers are very useful things, but nobody seems to use them any more. I used some last week. There's a wooden panel screwed to the ceiling of the loo at the back of the kitchen extension - gives access to the kitchen roof space. It had bare screws and I added cup washers and proper screws! (it's a tight fit for me getting through the hole because no joists have been taken out and they're close together. Then I remind myself that when we did the last bit of wiring up there, SWMBO did it because I needed to be elsewhere to do stuff at the same time.

No sense of when its tight enough then, or were the screws too small? Brian Adam's made it clear that it was his fault. He didn't drill the holes deep enough. :) |
