Quick tip
 
To avoid drilling holes through electric cables in the wall I have a
good idea. Don't drill holes.

Or even better switch off the electric at the mains, then if you do it
won't go bang. The only draw back using this method would be your drill
will only drill a few holes as you wont have any electric to charge the
battery up.

Well how else are we to make round holes then?

A much more sensible tip would be to purchase a house without
electricity.

electricity? Bob

Put the cables above the plaster? I't a thought, use the nails / clips
to hold up your wallpaper [see wallpaper thread]

I can sell you bags of ready-made holes. Just send me the details of your
bank account, passwords etc. You sound like the kind of person who would.

I have a drill that will make square holes.

Would the ready made holes be in different depths and sizes? Bob

You just squeeze out as much of a hole as you need from the bag.

Drilling holes in a gas pipe can be equally as dangerous.

Girly stuff - JCBs make for much more excitement

especially when it's a manly 12" main

... and the bloke repairing it is smoking a rollup while he was
plugging the leak

don't forget boys and girls, it really is quite difficult to get the
right conditions to create an explosion (between 5 and 15% IIRC)
