Just fitted an outside socket at my friends daughters house.
I failed at my first attempt. I then got my mate Dave to double check why
the drill bit never entered the kitchen.
We both double checked the measurements (ie following the brick line from
the back door around the corner of the kitchen to the bottle of washing
up liquid that he had placed on the windowsill for a vertical measurement
so that I did not hit the incoming cold water supply or the washing
machines water supply.
In the end we drilled from inside to out and we were both 12 inches out
on the vertical. The kitchen floor is reasonably level so what went
wrong?
I could write a book called 'Misdrilled holes'.
