reddragdiva: (domesticity)

The house is resisting the DIY. I approached the bathroom with a fully-charged drill, a masonry bit and a look of grim, steely, manly determination last night and tried making holes in the bathroom wall for the shower fitting. (The sort that you stick over the taps; this is for the rail to stick the showerhead on.) I even tried drilling through the grouting, not the tiles themselves. Three minutes of furious grinding noises (fnarr) to no effect other than a silvery blemish in the grouting.

Guess what? The "grouting" appears to be the glue holding the tiles on. The wall has a sheet of metal behind it. So does the other wall over the bathtub.

My questions are: 1. Ideas on how to attach the shower fitting? Bonus points for removability at end of tenancy. 2. WHY???
