Default Core drilling is a bit of a dusty job

Last week I core drilled a hole for an extractor fan in the gf's
bathroom.

Bloody hard bricks and it took me over an hour and half to drill it.

There was a bit of dust for her to clean up (and a lot of dust in the
air as seen on the photo)

She is still complaining about having to do a spot of cleaning a week
later.


When doing that sort of job I have the Henry running just under where
I'm drilling and most of the 'mess' cleans itself up. ;-)



Core holes are 360 degrees the mess goes in all directions and it needs
two arms to hold the core drill.





And a girlfriend to hold the vac.
