Title: Re: How thick.... Post by: Notts red on Sunday, November 27, 2011, 20:29:16 That's the problem with modern floors, big sheets of chip board are a nightmare to take up. Does sound like you have found a joist to drill into though.

Does sound like you have found a joist to drill into though. Exactly this. I started off right in the corner and have moved in diagnoly about 4 inches (100mm Nev :) ). 3 holes, no joy. (No puns please). Title: Re: How thick.... Post by: 4D on Monday, November 28, 2011, 12:47:30 Sorted. Ta all.
