excellent suggestion, Smarty. As for why so much emphasis on the origin of them - Because I want to k now if there's any foul play, that's why!! We actually had a vandal damage the outside foundation wall once (albeit not the same side of the house). On that occasion, we heard the loud thump, thought the neighbor had a mower or other object accidentally roll into the wall, or something, but discovered somebody took a hammer to the wall (or maybe just a heavy blunt object, who knows) and struck the wall, causing a about a 15" across chip/crack that left a noticeable indentation. We had to patch it over but the stuff I bought at the store when dry became a darkish-grey color that makes it noticeable that it's a patch. We subsequently installed a security camera on that side of the house. So far, no more problems. I just feel that any hole drilled in the side of your house should arouse suspicion, unless it serves some specific purpose. We have owned this house for over 30 years (it was my parents house where I grew up) and we NEVER had these holes drilled at any time be it for seepage, termites, or any other reason. Plus, why did I notice them now?? I have raked over the outside of our home constantly, and justs now see them. However, you folks have given evidence which strongly suggests they are indeed old....hmmm....tomorrow I will see if they are lined with metal. You are right to be concerned. The holes are exactly the right size for an Ammonium Nitrate explosive sabot (#UANA-2777-5) used for (among others) excavating salt in room-and-pillar mines. These are used in tandem with others for controlled, low explosive, detonations. Used properly, it's almost like carving rock! Do you have any mining or similar activities in your area or, more importantly, know anybody involved with earth-moving operations? |

1/2" perfectly round holes suddenly found on my foundation wall outside
If wood ..... consider carpenter bees ...also woodpeckers. Both pests
can form essentialy perfect round holes. "rank beginner" wrote in message ups.com... I'd greatly appreciate someone's help with this. This has me worried. Don't know what the heck these are for. They were never there, just discovered them this afternoon. They are on a side of the house by the family room downstairs, and that side of the house abuts a public park, so a lot of cars park by it. The reason I'm concerned is that these holes were definitely never there before, and I can only surmise they were done intentionally. The idea of vandals is disturbing. There are a lot of visitors, all types of people, almost round the clock who come to enjoy the park and park their cars on the curb in front of this side of the house. Theyre were a lot of people on Memorial Day especially,but there's people all the time on that side of the house. Anyway, could anyone say if they were done intentionally or if they are the work of a racoon or other animal. They seem too perfectly round though, for that. I'd like to post a picture but I'm not sure if we can do that on this group. Thanks, Chris |

Sounds like carpenter bees - sounds goofy, until you see them, because their holes look just like someone used a 1/2" drill. They are large, like a bumble bee, and the females sting. First I learned of them was on this n.g., then shortly after saw them at daughter's house. Yes but can those things chew through concrete or sandstone or whatever that stuff is in her foundation? The Martian carpenter bees can chew through almost anything, except cinder block. And, they're well known for lining their tunnels with rusty metal pipes that one astute observer noticed in the close-up photo. It blocks the psychotronic energy almost as well as the aluminum foil that another helpful respondent mentioned. |

Smitty Two: If you can't think fo anything constructive to say, I'd appreciate it if you didn't say anything at all. Thank you. close-up of the hole http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/b...l/IMG_0273.jpg Is this contructive? Despite your claim to the contrary, I'd say that's a cinder block wall. Looks like a layer of cement applied over cinder block. I can't see any other way to explain the hollowness of the wall. Your post was ridiculous from the very start. First you tell us what the wall is NOT made of. What were you thinking? Then you tell us your powers of observation are beyond reproach. Then you think that vandals attacked your house but any fool can see that's not a new hole. The ground seems to be sloped toward the hole. I think you have water running into that hole. That's not a good thing. Fill it with cement. Oh, and when someone replies to you in english, do you think it's polite to reply in some other language? Please stop top posting when someone has replied to you using time honoured internet conventions or trim, quote, reply in context. |
