How heavy are sprogs nowadays? If he's right, the brackets he suggested are rated at 200kg each. That's two and a half times my weight (excluding tools in pockets of course) - per bracket. The breakfast bar would snap in the middle before the brackets gave way - if you could fit five of me on it.
2 brackets at 200kg each is 400kg divided by my weight 80kg (excluding tools) is five. That makes me 55. I've just checked and I am 55.
I am trying to loose a bit at the moment, stayed in a hotel last week working, too many mirrors in the room
So do I normally but the hotel had them all over the room, It was like a little buddha looking back at me.
