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?

Not a trick question. It's about the time to fit it.

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.

Did he put it in the wrong room?

And did you give him any washers to go under the screw holes to spread the load properly?

How many screws did he break by using the impact driver in
full-on gorilla mode ?.

In full gorilla mode he would have driven the screw head completely
through what he was trying to fix, necessitating a screw with a larger
head or a big washer.

That's after he's managed to remove that screw complete with
plug possibly bringing bits of plasterboard and brick dust with it thus
requiring the drilling of an even bigger hole, maybe requiring a brown plug
and a fatter screw this time.

Those cup washers are very useful things, but nobody seems to use them any

Probably the closest.

The actual answer is that he was unable to to the job.

He used 3" screws, rammed them in all the way thus pulling out the red
plug. He managed on every red plug.

Absolutely useless.

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.

And she was 8 months pregnant.

Adam's made it clear that it was his fault. He didn't drill the holes
deep enough.
