20081110: Climbing Hand Hold

Finally found the "rock climbing hand holds" (that's what this things are called) to be installed at Kuching to access the carpark roof top. cost is about $16.5 per piece... The helpful sales girl says need at least 20 pcs to make up a wall for a good climb... But luckily/unluckily I ran out of vitamin M$M.Installation requires drilling 8 inch diameter holes to fit the socket for plug in the stainless steel "insert", then bolt it in with size 8 allen key. Drill depth is about 43mm (based on information from the drawing). Tough job. :-p10 sets of these (thrown in free with the package). The description on the HILTO box.
Next, installation during end of November. :-D HOHOHO...

:-) same what the sales girl said, at least 20 pcs, easily 50 pcs/wall = 5x$165 then i remember your word "Recession better keep $ in pocket", so i did not draw much cash when i visit this shop & didn't bring credit card :-). She reserved the other 10 pcs for me for collect this saturday.
