Drilling a hole in a wall
Re: Drilling a hole in a wall
I used a masonry bit that was long enough to go all the way through. When I knew I was about to break through, I turned off the hammer drill setting and just went slow. I had no break out, just a nice smooth hole.

Might be a good end result to show the finished job and how you approached it...... 

Re: Drilling a hole in a wall
Indeed I will. While i was away, my tool storage was relocated so things like the hammer drill hasn't been rediscovered yet. But I do have my masonry bits!

There's three solid drawn 2.5 mm wires so an easy fit. Pictures to follow.

BTW, one of the moobahn ladies has set up a somtam stand right next to our Yai's allotment across the soi. I have my daily stinky Isaan food fix there, thus ensuring her unemployed electrician boyfriend doesn't molotov my braw new nail salon with a fiery half-bottle of lao khao.
