Anyone wannna help me put a tv on the wall int he spare room tomorrow. 2 cans on offer

Ok how do I know if there’s cables in the part of wall I wanna drill?

Is there a tool I can use? The sockets at the bottom of the wall so guessing the wires are running along the skirting board or straight up!?

Any danger of someone who does diy giving some serious info would be boss. Forum subscriber here

hope for the best?

Sounds a bit Dahmer esk mate.

Ed Gein made lovely lampshades and chair covers out of his victims. I’d have loved to have seen his shed

stud wall?
Brick/block wall/clunch?
How old is the house?
Any electrical sockets above or below area to be drilled on either side of wall?
Only absolute virgins use stud finder machines and if you have one then you should have all your drills, tools and sharp objects taken away from you immediately

I've never used one, but I felt like it was a necessary piece of advice for Jako

I imagine he’d probably take it apart in his shed and try to recalibrate the settings to locate the nearest bottle of buckfast in the local area

@john jako I`m assuming you have a local boozer ?

There`s always a retired fella in there, who`s been on the tools his whole life and happy to do this sort of stuff for a drink.

I`ve virtually renovated our whole house, using lads from the pub

A verily, 'tis the fairest house in all Wooltonshire....

Drill holes where you want mate, its your house.

Youll know if youve hit a wire when the kids start screaming about the WiFi going off.

Godspeed

I cba offering advice anymore. Even when you explain everything thoroughly, step by painstaking step, stupidity always prevails.
Let natural selection take it's course, there's too many of us on the planet anyway.

Only way to do it.
Life is so much easier when you just do stuff yourself.
Be arsed waiting weeks to pay someone else to bollox it up.
