I pushed the drill a little too hard from the other side. Didn’t realise the damage I’d done until I came around the other side to my wife shouting and screaming. ¯\(ツ)/¯
Was your wife complaining because you were running ethernet(?) cable to what appears to be the toilet?
Listen if I can’t poop and enjoy gigabit internet, what the hell is the point of living?
Dude doesn’t even have Bluetooth urinal, smh
we invented wifi for this exact reason, dude. Wifi 6E can easily break 1gbps.
Ethernet cables can be run through walls. Wifi won’t reach gigabit speeds if there is a brick wall between the AP and client
Gotta have that full duplex
How else would you connect your smart toilet?
Don’t kink shame me.
This will happen every time you use a hammer drill because that’s just how they work - by hammering.
Protip: use way smaller bit first to go all the way through as a pilot hole, then use the size you need and drill from either side to stop it from blowing out like this.
I’ve often found you don’t even need the hammer aspect, just using a mason bit will work, especially for softer materials. It’ll take longer, but if it’s only for the finish, it’s faster than fixing a blowout like this.
Alternatively turn off the hammer for the finish, or finish the hole from this side (since you have the pilot hole). This works well on any material, for example to prevent blowouts on wood or flash on metal.
Also with older/crappier walls you may need to use one size smaller than you acutally need.
Nothing a little plaster and paint can’t fix, just make sure you wash that nasty ass wall first.
no worries, that’ll buff right out. besides, just remind your wonderful SO that the right of way for UTP cable is inviolable.
What’s the problem? You’ve still got the pieces, just stick it all back together.
With some Great Stuff! 🤣
(sorry, I’ve just seen so much bad usage of Great Stuff).
Any fuckup you can walk away from is better than a fuckup that leaves you with no ability to walk away from it. Doesn’t mean the fuckup won’t cost you in some or many ways, but at least you can still walk.
What about fuck ups where your wife walks away from you? You can still walk but it won’t help.
Depends on the wife, really. 😁
I kid I kid!
A bit of boomer humour sometimes is OK.
As they say about flying, any landing you walk away from is a good landing. Being able to reuse the plane is a bonus.
