Thanks for all the advice. I was using masonry bits in a makita drill, and rawl plugs but not a hammer drill. The drill bits got very hot and the front edges just wore off! I will check the length of the curtains and see if I can go higher, if not i will try a hammer drill.
Any builder types out there who can help me redeem myself.
I have attempted to put up a curtain pole and the brackets are coming away from the wall. I destroyed 3 drill bits trying to go into the concrete lintel and eventually went with the (try a shorter screw) option.
Anyone tell me what...
