Hi Guys advice needed.
A large part of my work involves making bespoke shelving units, usually for CD's/DVD's etc. See photo for an example.
The taller ones like in the picture have short legs to take some of the load, and because they look better. There are tabs on the uprights with screws that go into the walls via rawl plugs, plaster board fixings etc.
A customer has approached me with a small problem.
'' my walls aren't the best, they're quite old and made of this reddish stuff with some kind of animal hair mixed in (sounds weird) which crumbles so whenever I have to fix anything to the wall I inevitable have to carve out a much bigger hole and then fill it and then drill it.''
What would be the best way to fix into this type of wall? I was thinking of using the resin that is used for ground anchors, drill say a 10mm hole 50mm deep, inject the resin then have the shelves in position and push in a screw, leave it to set and job done. Sounds a bit of a bodge, but it would work.
How can this lady sort out her shelves?
Cheers, Chunko'.
