Your drills made mincemeat of the tiles
Oooooooo!"sinks"go in kitchens,bathrooms have wash hand basins
Two things.
Firstly in the absence of an obvious "batten" to fix to as a guide really good practice dictates that vertical studs should be 400mm apart working from the exterior wall inwards and horizontal 400mm apart working top to bottom then bottom to top alternatively. Well thats how I build my houses and my stud walls DONT shake. Unfortunatly you get what you pay for 600mm wide verticals and one horizontal if your lucky in "modern" thrown up properties.
Second point you may find that Thorsmans` Rota-Plug (The aluminium ones) are far better than ordinary plaster board plugs when ever fixing to plaster board-especially radiater brackets.
Just to confirm wot JD says if you have a look at your tapes tomorrow you will see marks(usually diamonds) at 405mm and then every 405mm this is joist spacing marks as quoted above.
sorry guys just being a smart a$$,but take a look its soooooooo true :hurray:
