[time sensitive] drilling through tile
My client has prospective in-laws coming in on Saturday, and I've got a
hot date by 6 pm Friday at the latest, so I've got to get squared away on this within 12 hours or so. I have to drill through bathroom tile so as to be able to fasten one of those crescent shower curtain deals. I was thinking I would drill a small pilot hole, then come after with the rotary drill and a hammer drill bit sans hammer. I was thinking the bits that I tend to have around would be perfect forthis, as they would otherwise be used for tap-cons. My client has said that there is backerboard behind. Instead of trying to throw in an anchor, I would bring on a 3/32, and **** on it, use my own screws. Their's aren't even ferromagnetic. All I gotta do is get two screws fastened level--up and down, one inch apart, on either side. How about going into the grout instead? Anyways, your experience and comments are appreciated. -- Uno |
