Hi all.

Just wanna ask.

I've extend my terrace house for a bigger kitchen.

the problem lies on the hallow block that the wall use.

the walls were done with paint...now regretting.

It makes drilling for installing kitchen cabinet and other stuff difficult as it would not "fit"
bcoz of the hallow block.

what solution there is?

TQ.

correct, but why it beeb use when you extended your kitchen? Not the normal Red or Grey bricks?
This type of brick normally use on Open area concept...

all is the idea of the contractor...lol.

Just ask if there's any solution if it was to drill to hang or to install things.

Get something like this.  The inner end will expand and grips into the other side of the wall.

You may need to hack a bigger portion, put cement (Sand + stone + cement) with the nut inside.

yes I think this is the last option. cry.gif

even drilling on the wall will somehow wreck or cause a crack... shocking.gif
