In assessing the requirements to hang what is by anyones imagination a sizeable and heavy mirror to an inadequate plasterboard wall, it was apparent from James'manly but futile attempt that plasterboard was not the material of choice for secure fixing.
In the past I have used speciallist plasterboard fixings to attach lightwigt fittings such as helium balloons and the like, when I have been satisfied that safety and integrity would not be compromised.
I have alluded in a previous post to the organisation necessary for this task, but was completely staggered to realise that James had spent sometime hunting for a suitable stud (with Nadias full knowledge and co-operation,) and had purchased a device to aid him in his quest from a speciallist purveyor. Tentative holes in the wall stand testimony to his maybe here will be ok approach, and a greater degree of professionalsm ensued, when with great flashing of LEDsand perfunctory beeps the best suited stud was located and accessed.
In deference to James elderly neighbours we have not drilled holes in their party wall at 10.00pm Saturday night as we think they may prefer the up at dawn on Sunday approach.

I am sure the neighbours appreciated your concerns about noise.
Hope James and Nadia were well
Good to see that you are having a great time and that James has set Geoff on with his DIY ( I know the feeling well) Nice to char yesterday, Janet, and will see you on 16th.
Love ..........DAD
