My idea of fun...

[1shortcircuit]

Core drilling four 6" holes in three properties today. Oh what joy lmao

Out of interest, what do you guys normally charge for this?

This particular work is for my own landlord who owns a number of properties. I've just done it on a day rate plus hire of core drill, transformer and extension lead... oh and dust sheets.

Came home looking like an American football player where I had my dust mask on lol

First hole was an absolute female dog and so was the cleaning up afterwards. Second hole pished through, third and fourth were okay but black mortar everywhere. Took me longer cleaning everything up than it did drilling the holes.

Landlord wanted me to drill from outside due to dust issue but I declined due to safety issues of using core drill on a ladder for fans in upstairs bathrooms. Amazing how dust can still get everywhere despite covering EVERYTHING with Polythene dust sheets.... What a day

You need to work on a cement plant, I'm not kidding you could stand in the middle of the workshop and not do anything and still end up covered in dust
