Blimey! Thats excellent. I was told there would be a fee of 250/350 as I didn't have a contract. Hitches & Glitches had the same policy. I wonder if they've relaxed it now.
Will use again if I need to. |

I rang their 800 number and spoke to a bloke called Colin...had a slot yesterday afternoon and the guys came round and were seriously quick.
Will use again if I need to. That's good service & something worth paying a little extra for IMO. |

My drill struggled, they just chuckled and the picture (the one Mr Meow sorted) was hung properly and securely within about 4 minutes. |

You must now hand in your man card and cannot get it back until you own a proper tool kit and can use it all on your own
You can drill into walls, get sweaty and frustrated, spend time in Ace asking an assistant which raw plug will best suit the concrete in your walls, yell at the wife for help passing you a smaller drillbit because you've ****ed up the first hole etc etc etc etc. I made one phone call, paid 200dibs, sat and had a beer with the footie on. 25 minutes later the job was finished. Brains over 'brawn' any day of the week. |

More than happy to conform to that.

Rule2: Never ask for assistance when choosing your tools, you are a man and are born with this knowledge, remember also the people in ACE don't know shit. and go to Speedex not ace Rule3: You did not **** up the first hole, it was deliberate and part of the plan Rule 4: Never ever ever call a man to assist you, if you've ****ed it up badly enough wait and the wife will call one thus relieving you of the admission of failure. To be fair the walls here are a bitch so buy a better drill and use oversized bolts and wall plugs to hang anything heavy. For small pictures there are these things http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg |

Speedex or a proper building shop in Satwa. It it is heavy/ valuable use a 6mm SDS drill, fisher plugs and decent screws. Otherwise use the little plastic things and get the misses to do it. |
