[raging bull]

Well I made a start Sunday morning, should have stayed in bed.
Having taken over my HD mains drill together with a d.
ecent battery drill found out a) mains extension lead not long enough, 20metre lead length needing another 5 no other lead available.
So using battery drill started to drill a 12mm hole but found the wood was wet through and this was making it hard work.
Managed to drill @1ft down before I gave up as battery drill starting to labour.

Longer mains lead purchased this morning so will attempt to continue later today.
