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.

Adam,

Nice one. By the way welcome to the club, I have two cameras watching me,
one back and one front - it's a funny old world 'innit? :-)
