Hiya
I'm having problems trying to mount a shelf to a partition wall.....shameful I know. The house was built in the 50's as far as I know if that helps. Each time I try to drill a hole, black grit falls out and the bit gets very hot. The plaster just falls off the wall so I'm left with big holes in my wall! I can't seem to go in more than a couple of millimeters! Any ideas Jumbletowners :)
