… idea worked just fine.<\/p>\n

Mind you, I had to strip it down, remove the safety guard and the side handle, and fit a worn-down diamond disc. Then I could just about get the thing in the hole that I made.<\/p>\n

Although it took ages to work out the best way to use it and how to control it, I managed to carve a deep groove into the head of this stubborn lump of ironstone. <\/p>\n

The SDS drill, in the stationary position and with a chisel attachment, fitted some way into the hole (after I’d stripped all kinds of surplus stuff off the drill) and after several good poundings I knocked a lump off the rock. <\/p>\n

And that was how I proceeded – cut a groove in a lump of rock with the angle grinder, pound away with the SDS chisel, and then use the core drill until it grounded out again.<\/p>\n

\"hole<\/a>It took ages too and then of course eventually the angle grinder and the chisel bottomed out and that was that.<\/p>\n

But I did find a 500mm 22mm SDS drill and so I used that to punch a whole row of holes, rather like perforations, around the groove made by the core drill. And at about 16:30 this afternoon I broke through and that was that;<\/p>\n

Now the pipe is in place, cemented in from the outside and with the filter fitted. It’s mostly filled from the inside but of course the air vent and fan won’t be fitted until the tiling is done.
<\/p>\n

While I was waiting for all the cement to dry, I had a little (yes, just a little) tidy up in what will be the bedroom and I found loads of stuff that I had been looking for. But now I’m whacked, and that is that.<\/p>\n

But back to this morning.<\/p>\n

C\u00e9cile and I were up early and loaded her car with all of the stuff she’s taking to her mother’s, which was uite a considerable amount.<\/p>\n

I then ran her into St Gervais d’Auvergne to post a letter at the Post Office, where we ran into the guy who runs the sawmill. It’s always closed in July and August while he does the harvest, but he did mention that he had a workman down at the mill just then.<\/p>\n

Upon hearing that news, I took full advantage and came back with a load of demi-chevrons<\/em>. <\/p>\n

A really good investment, Caliburn’s roofrack.<\/p>\n

So now C\u00e9cile has left the area, probably for good, and I’m back here making rapid progress now in the shower room. <\/p>\n

What’s going to happen next to jam a spanner in the works?<\/p>\n
