Ok for the record, (because I already have said it in the first post WAR_in_d I merely sought others opinions on what they thought was the best solution out of the ideas I first mentioned or to see if anyone had anything better to suggest)
- Re-drilling I have already mentioned (first post) and to me seems most likely fix - making out it has taken a long time to get to this idea is
- I will not be trying this my self as I've already said (although I have used the toothpicks fix myself El and MJMP so I see why you suggest it as it will work for some things but I'd rather have a pro do it for this problem)
- I did not say it would cost £100 I said under £100 for sure
- I do not have a drill press, perhaps you do WAR_in_d, so it would not be so simple for me to try it - I'll get a pro to do it
Robb Hell anyone?
Point by point:
1. I never said we're just now coming around to the drill and fill idea. I'm well aware that you said that in your first post, I heard you the first time you said it.. I'm just pointing out that in the time it's taken for what I feel is the obvious solution to make itself apparent, this could have been fixed already.
2. I also said that if you didn't feel comfortable doing a job like this yourself, take it to a professional.... or a local girl/boy scout, as they probably have the skills needed to fix this problem.
3. All I was saying here, is if someone tries to charge you £100 for a job like this or even anything close to that.. You need to run out of there as quickly as possible.
4. No, I don't have a drill press.. you don't need it for this type of job. Again, not rocket science here. This is a very simple fix.
Not sure what Robb Hell means, so I guess I'll leave that one alone.
Anyway, I'm out of this convo and good luck... Again, my apologies if what I said came across as being a d*ck. I just say what I'm thinking usually, and since tone and inflection are lost with the typed word many times it comes across that I'm being an @$$.. I just have a very dry sense of humor, and I'm pretty "matter of fact". To put it in my perspective.... This thread is like six guys standing around in the dark trying to figure out the best way to turn on a light switch, and then another person walks in and just flips it on. The "solution" seems to obvious to me, and I find it funny this thread has gone to four pages (CRAP, this post just started a fifth page!!?!!) but yet the problem and a determination on how to solve it still remains. LOL
Later..
