The Perfect Present for DIY Dads..., by curiousgeorge on Nov 29, 2007 21:09:21 GMT 1, I think Robert Dyas sell these really cheap too.
I still have a good eye from my days buiding houses, and cos im such a freak i hang stuff by eye, then test myself with a spirit level. And i hunt for for pipes and cables the old fashioned way, hammer 'n nail  *
* Don't try this at home

The Perfect Present for DIY Dads..., by craigf on Nov 29, 2007 21:19:46 GMT 1, I have couple of large pictures with hangers on them (one at either side rather than a cord). Knowing my lack of managing to drill two holes horizontal I've asked a mate to come around and give me a hand with them. They are going to be at the top of a stairwell so from a safety standpoint it is a two man job, but even if they were at skirting board level I'd expect them to go up wonky

The Perfect Present for DIY Dads..., by lesbianwednesdays on Nov 29, 2007 22:52:33 GMT 1, you can get one of them for nothing pal, cables run vertically and pipes horizontally, simple.
now if it's DIY you want, you won't beat this www.makita.com/menu.php?pg=product_det&tag=LXT600
best money i ever spent
*edit* worth ยฃ25 for the laser level though, a decent spirit level will cost you ยฃ15-20 and you try getting your woman to hold one of them steady 
it is worth bearing in mind though that your eye is one of the best gauges of level there is but it does play tricks. a level won't lie but if you have coving above where the piece is hanging that isn't spot on you may have to hang it half pissed, that way it will look level to the eye, and that's what counts
