You would expect a hun to understand masonry ffs.

Carbide bit=masonry bit.

Crabgirl's idea is excellent-pop in the polylock at a bit of a recessed depth, then mutz in a thimble of patch to renew the surface and "shrink" the hole.

Supremely practical, and cheap, too.

Never mind JP; he probably buys things done anyway...

"... mutz in a thimble of patch ..."

If you said that on any building site I ever worked on then you would have got fuck kicked out of you in short order. Sorry if that sounds harsh but it's true.

He tried to screw it on with a regular screwdriver first. Then realised it wasn't going to work so got the drilling machine thingy.

Some of the plaster came out and now the hole is as wide as my fingertip.

I think I'll have a go at it in the morning when he's out working

He also failed to notice the mirror is rather big and therefore has 2 hooks

If I can't figure it out JP is going to have to come over to hang up my mirror

Just tell him he won't get a bj, whilst playing online poker, 'til it's sorted.

Bet it's done post haste.

I know it's true, and I wouldn't deign to speak that way at a building site, unless I were trying to draw in a fish needing his ass beaten.

We're talking about a girl fixing a fuck-up by her BF.

Communicating with women is a specialty of mine.

Thing is, because it is an ACTUAL chimney, there's brick behind the plaster, and apparently it's not easy to drill into the things

Ahh he needed a masonry bit and a nice Hilti would have done the trick.

That reminds me, above my fireplace it is bare. I need a nice large picture there. It crossed my mind to put a flat screen but then again....my mind musta been crossed for thinking sumfin' soooooo stoooopid.
