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?


Sounds like a use for one of those self levelling laser thingies. Got one
from Lidl earlier this year and have only used it once - but was very
useful. Not sure how well it would stand up to be thrown around in normal
pro use, though.
