I'm drilling a hole...
Well, I will be. It's for an external aerial wire. Actually two
aerials, digital terestrial ('Freeview') and FM radio. I think I'll put it just above ground level so the cable emerges into the cellar. Any advice? Thanks. |

I've seen the holes silconed round the entry point to also stop water coming in. Sky install by any chance..... Dave |

I've seen another grommet type jobby which can be placed against the wall. Not sure whether this actually solves any water problems or just covers up the ugly holes/too much break-out. When Sky installed for me they went through the window frame using a masonry drill bit! This caused a crapload of splintering on the outside of the frame. They didn't bother siliconing that, that's for sure. Which reminds me, I must get round to sorting that soon. |
