Guys... He's not dead. He went back to his planet. Didn't any of you see Men In Black? Seriously- does MIB not explain a LOT of previously inexplicable things, including our boy Jacko?

I have JUST put the sign up, and it looks pretty good. For my first real wood project i thought it went well. I will post some pics on Monday for you guys to see.

Like I said, I put the sign up on Saterday afternoon. I first drilled two holes 12mm in diameter through the back of the box above the tubes.

I had decided to use RAWL/anchor bolts to attach the sign. I then measured the holes and drilled the wall. I had to use a 14mm drill bit because of the size of the bolt. It JUST fitted in my drill chuck.

I took the bolts out and inserted the outer part into the wall. I then added 2 large washers (larger than the holes drilled in the wood) to the bolt, held up the sign and attached it to the wall. The RAWL bolts worked really well.

Here are some pics of the final product
