I am very wary of drilling into brick walls. This video has provided me the 3 good reasons why I should or shouldn't drill into the bricks. Thank you very much.
Thankyou! I can definitely do that for you ! I have a few other videos in the pipeline but these are all on the list. Click the notification bell and youll be updated when these become available 👍
Drilling a 1" wide hole into a brick wall to install a sillcock. (there's no outdoor water access and my garden is thirsty!) Any tips? I'll be drilling all the way through.
Unfortunately for me, my existing doorbell is installed to where drilling new holes for the video doorbell would have me drilling one of the holes into mortar.
An important factor often missed is if the brick on your house is still available should it crack in the future and in many case they aren't or won't. In my opinion it is better to drill in the mortar most of the time and plan accordingly to get the strength needed (number of anchor points / type of anchor). Good drilling tips in this video!
Please don't listen to this guy, he knows not what he says. If you have any questions about how to do it properly, consult a professional mason, not a RUclipsr.
yes use a external brick caulk or similar in a similar colour. It's a good idea to sweep up the brick dust on the floor after drilling and keep it somewhere safe. Then when ya caulk it just dust some of the dust on and it'll set with it. Can barely tell then even close up.
A quick question whilst I'm here, I drilled 4 holes into an internal solid wall for shelf brackets, but the holes are a bit off even though I marked it correctly. I now need to drill another 4 holes slightly higher and to the left. How far apart do the holes need to be from the first set of holes to avoid weakening the new drilled holes? Also, any advice for drilling holes accurately without the drill bit wondering off? I'm thinking off using a much smaller drill bit first and then working my way upto the 8mm bit that I need. Thank you kindly.
As long as you are 10mm away that will be fine. If the wall is very pourous i would use a hole punch to start off. Start the drill off hammer first and you should be fine.
Great tip about gently hammering a rawl plug in using a screw. Never thought of that. 👍

Glad to help
Thanks for the video, really helpful knowing the drill bits with the colour rawl plug
Excellent video, could you make a video on how to do fencing uphill / downhill. How to set plumb lines and fixing concrete posts uphill / downhill

Would help if u added the video link to the screws without using plugs…
Mortar all the way... It's easy to redo mortar, replacing a brick, no thanks.
I agree it is easier to repair but not stronger
You are 🔥
sounds like Alfred Hitchcock

Wouldnt leave my keys outside lol

The brick. The mortar will disintegrate over time.

why is this even a question?
Are holes in brick easy enough to patch without looking weird if the item you’re mounting doesn’t remain there forever?
That's what I was wondering - then youtube put this in the video suggestions at the end. ruclips.net/video/ylWnno6T2M0/видео.html
I don’t know
