Nice vid - love the authenticity

Very good realistic video it always goes like that when adding sockets in old houses.

Thank you. Yes old houses are a right pain. In the bathroom video I did the plaster on a whole wall wasn't attached to the brick and it all came down.

Thanks for this, nice to see the things that go wrong sometimes, in my case that's the norm!

You make it look so easy. I chased my wall today, which is made of breeze block, and it was a right pain in the backside...

[@LCWDIY]

Thank you. Yes it's a messy job and not easy to do.

[@jimcowan6472]

Thanks man. Great vid.

I would personally use a router grinder for brick walls. You can mount a vacuum cleaner straight to most of them, drillheads are stupid expensive but imo well worth it. Nice result with that second one though, angle grinder is a worthy tool for the job. There is a real danger of going overboard with tools doing up a house.

Great video, thanks very much, and really appreciate the music over what I can imagine is a lot of loud banging and grinding away.

This is my first time seeing metallic conduit box screwed to the wall

[@danielteyehuago1633]

Please what is the name of the drilling machine

[@TheGorillahands]

450mm in new builds, in existing houses its doesn't apply

[@adamg.617]

Correct mate...some sparkies don't even know this ...

[@girlsdrinkfeck]

i thought they still put rads under windows for a few reasons still ," most people dont like furniture there so it wont obstruct the rad ,most important ,u can have the most expensive glazing in the world and itll still have bad condensation issues without having direct heat from the from it to heat the pane to stop moisture collecting around its frame .

[@girlsdrinkfeck]

but as you stated there is unique reasons why u choose to do this

[@davejones6722]

Why you wasting time talking about where you want to put a radiator when I want to know how to install a plug socket
