so your not an idol fan!? two hours last nite and two hours tonite! Idol overload! I hate gadgets. ok, last 2 months i bought a drill, coz i wanna hang up shelves, pics etc on my wall! and im not too sure if im using the correct drill head, but when i drill into the wall, it will not go in!!!!!! i have to like drill the same spot for like 20 mins and my hand goes all numb! i thought it would go straight thru (its a concrete wall) off topic sorta, but anyone ever drilled concrete? is it meant to be this difficult, or does it go straight thru....almost immediately!!!! i hav so many ideas to do up my room, but if i cant even f**king drill a hole, im stuck!

You have to use a concrete bit to do that or else it won't drill right

yea. but i couldve sworn i used the concrete bit! it just wont frikkin go in! it took me like half hour to drill a single hole! i was supposed to drill and hang up 2 shelves but i ended up hanging just the one! the effort was just too much!
if i could only learn how to drill, id be so done by now! my room is like half complete and i hate it!! it needs to be perfect

Hmmm, maybe it's the type of concrete, thats the only other reason I can think of. Haha, sounds like your a perfectionist with the way your room is hehe.....Im that way too. Everything in it's place and a place for everything

Wow, not into tool time... A masonry bit should do it...there are different sizes but basically they look like: But, basically you should be using maybe a hammer drill or something... Either way, not bad...both of you...

Well, I figured you would understand "expansion" and "bolt"... Also, don't try to force it, if you push to hard it won't work and you can't go to fast either...okay, this is starting to sound wierd...
