Default DIY disaster

The next door neighbour (NDN) who I do not get on with has decided to DIY a
CCTV camera to watch me in my garden.
The guy has never done any DIY before and owns no power tools or ladders. I
expected spectacular results and was not disappointed.

Step 1
A fat bloke on a moped brought NDN a drill around.
Step 2
NDN spent 30 minutes trying to drill into the concrete windowsill outside
the bedroom window.
Step 3
NDN phones fat bloke to say "the ****ing drill is not making a hole". Fat
bloke tells him to turn hammer action on (at a guess as I am not phone
tapping)
Step 4
NDN tries again with the hammer on but he must have also caught the "on"
lock on the drill. After drilling the first hole (10 minutes so not an SDS)
the drill does not stop when he takes his finger off the trigger. NDN starts
shouting for his wife to turn the electricity off as the "****ing thing
won't stop" Wife takes too long to turn the electricity off so he throws the
drill out the bedroom window in a strop. The drill's power lead creates an
alteration to a normal ballistic trajectory and sends the drill crashing
through the lounge window below.
Step 5
The camera is bluetacked to the inside windowsill behind a vase so that I
cannot see it
Step 6
I go to the pub with his other NDN laughing out heads off.
