Always amazes me the things i find when i strip out jobs. yesterday i took down a s/s chimney type cooker hood, we wanted to re-use it in new kitchen fit. i unscrewed top two chimney retaining screws, went to lift chimney off of hood, crash, hood fell off of wall. it was 'secured' to wall with 'twirlies' and a bead of silicone.God knows what would have happened if it had come off wall when the lady of the house had a hob full of boiling pans.Twirlies have their uses ie hanging pictures/ornaments but never cabinets or equipment or shelves that are going to be positioned in an area where the failure of said fixing could cause harm. I always make a hole in p/board slide in batton and secure and fix and repair hole if it shows ,and walk away knowing ive done the best possible. I have before now removed large sections of p/board and put in a noggin to secure equipment. Its not worth the sleepless nights not to. Some people call me fussy, but i'm still working and plenty more lined up. PS. i was only on this job to rewire kitchen, they asked me to take out hood because they wanted it done carefully.:28:
