I an gonna start drilling my walls to install many many things.
But the problem is that the guy that did my wiring and piping run away already after renovation vmad.gif
and I am left with no piping diagram on where the pipes or wiring are inside the walls. doh.gif
Thought of getting a something like this

Wallscanner D-tect 100 Professional

Where to rent this?? buying is just too pricey.

Any other suggestion on how to avoid drilling in to pipes and wires hidden behind the wall?

No need this kind of tool lah. Just drill. The chance to kena the wire in the wall is very very less. Just follow this rule.

1) don't drill above or below the wall light in straight line.
2) don't drill below the socket in straight line.
3) don't drill above the switch light in straight line.

I drill and instal DIY for my home. Never kena anything in the wall. Just follow this rule.

For pipe, it is about the same. Pipe is straight too and bend out when joint to tap. Most of the piping is below and not running above your basin level. So don't drill below tap. Don't drill above and below the stop kok in straight line.

Thanks for the pointers, will keep that in mind when I am drilling .
