Hahah thanks!

Clean install, good job!
2 things...
1 - drilling down will always give water a way to travel into the walls.
2 - Get a hammer drill. Will help you drill even faster and save your masonary bits. 👍🏻

Also, seal your holes with silicone.

@@tannerthetechnician5252 What would you do if there was insulation in the walls? Wouldn't the insulation catch the chain and stop it from falling to your magnet? I'm trying to wire my doorbell and avoid drywall/paintwork by running the wire up inside the wall to the attic and then dropping it down from the attic to the closet where my power and bell are located (It's a ring doorbell that I want to connect to the bell so it rings in the house and gets power). My problem is that I'm trying to drop the wire from the attic down to the hole where the doorbell would be, but with all the insulation in the wallspace, I can't use a magnet+metal chain or anything else to bridge the doorbell to the attic so I can run a wire.

[@tannerthetechnician5252]

Ok yes I know what you’re talking about. So what I like to do is get a drill bit or something long and skinny and where the doorbell is going I’ll use that to sweep the insulation as far over to both sides as possible to create a pocket where there isn’t any insulation. That way when you fish your chain down it will be a lot easier to catch.
Are you using a glow rod with your chain at the end? Its going to be close to impossible to drop your chain behind the insulation with out a glowrode

[@noahmunsell433]

@@tannerthetechnician5252 Yes I have glow rods. I think the problem I was having is that my hole was like 1/2" and I couldn't really fish around for the chain, and I didn't have a really strong magnet, or a magnetic wire thing like what you used indoors. All I had to do was drill a larger hole, and I was able to find my glow rod. Thank for the help!

Nice! Glad it worked out!
