Sounds OK - as long as you're confident the roof can hold the weight!

Roof is made from 6" thick reinforced conctreat beams, underneath is a series of brick wall forming outside loo, shed and coal house, I plan to place dish mount directly over one of the walls.

So you're telling me that it's built like a brick ****house? :roflmao:

sounds like my house has a brick built shed on it with a solid concrete roof, should take that weight no problem if it is

madrat · 12-09-07, 01:03 PM

:roflmao: Yes the whole house is built like a brick **** house, I have lost count the number of drills I have burnt out when drilling a hole in the walls.

wod · 12-09-07, 06:25 PM

lol surprised you aint got an sds drill much better for drilling solid materials

madrat · 13-09-07, 02:13 PM

I have hired one twice with hole cutters, for the vent on the tumble dryer and air conditioner, it took ages to get through the walls. I have learnt when fitting cables to go for the mortar and not the brick.

wod · 13-09-07, 06:34 PM

yeah for cables, yes but wall mounts need to be fixed to the bricks

my drill eats into bricks like a knife through butter was only 50 notes some sds drill from argos

anyway you decided on what your going to do ?

madrat · 14-09-07, 12:45 PM

Anything that need fixing has gone into the brick, sat dish, plant brackets etc. even the mortar is unforgiving as it has tiny pebbles in it, just the rite size to bend the nails of cable clips

have I decided what :?

wod · 14-09-07, 01:34 PM

decided on how your going to mount the dish and motor ?
