    Very good and informative. As a former mechanical engineer I still found this useful as I have never gone into a brick wall before. (until later on when my masonary drill bits get delivered) 😁😎

    Thank you so much. I have a drill and had difficulty using it on a brick wall. I'm going to try again tomorrow-putting up a a basic curtain rail in my daughter's bedroom. I feel so empowered and excited... Even learnt some new skills. Thank you, this means so much to me as a single mother and showing my daughters they can do basic DIY!!! I was going to pay a handy man to do it, but I can do it myself.... now 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 please do more tutorials for those who lack confidence

    I came across this channel because I was looking to do a simply DIY install of some racks and maybe even curtain bars. I didn't grow up in a stable home or with parents/people that were in a place to teach me these things so never learned any of this and want to just overcome that and become more handy myself. I'm so glad I found this channel - youtube is a great resource but I find it a bit intimidating sometimes being a young and extremely inexperienced woman trying to crack into this stuff!! Thank you!!
