Hello,
This morning I wanted to put up some twin slot shelving. I thought it won't take me long with my sds drill.
I was very unlucky. All the holes I drilled, seemed to go into the mortar between the bricks, and what should have been 7mm holes ended up big enough to put a finger into!
I moved the support slightly to the side and drilled them all again and this time I was very relieved when red brick dust came out everywhere. I have had to polyfilla my other set of holes and will have to paint over them, which creates another job!
Is it just a matter of luck drilling in the right place or is there a technique I am not familiar with?
Thanks, Stephen.
