How Do You Drill Through A Brick Wall?
Drilling through your home’s exterior brick wall is a serious matter, which requires special planning and care to prevent doing serious damage to your home. This is doubly true if you have never done this before. Reasons for drilling through your outer wall would typically include putting in a pipe or cable where there is no other way to get it into or out of your home.
