It's fookin donkey work. Just make sure if your drilling through first floor concrete that the core you drill out doesn't take out the false ceiling below. Seen that happen a few times recently.

Is it like an "Only Fools and Horses" moment with the chandeleir (spl)




Really looking forward to doing a "proper" job instead of wearing a shirt and tie etc
