Question:
I have a plasterboard wall I want to hang a picture and a cork board for ALL THE FUCKING BITS OF PAPER THE SCHOOL SEND US. And important things too.

Howeve, the stud spacing isn't optimal. HOW TO FIX PLEASE?
I don't want to drill through the plasterboard and into the living room, is it 12.5 mm depth?
SHOULD I JUST PAY SOMEONE?

So easy to fix in with an electric drill. Will take 2 mins max and no need to locate studs.

Seconded. Plasterboard fixings will let you put up shelves so a pinboard will be no trouble.

Worth making sure that you're not going to catch any pipes or cables, but aside from that get making some holes.

Excellent, I think I have some of those in a box in the shed. Somewhere.
