So.. they work for a bit?

 

I’ve used those with excellent results. Slow speed drilling. They dull quickly with the excessive heat generated when going fast on tile/porcelain/stone. Also apply light pressure so you don’t crack the tile if it isn’t properly supported (there’s an air pocket in the mastic).

 

*8mm duh

 

Hung my kayaks up before winter so I could get a 2nd vehicle in the garage.

 

Ended using Milwaukee diamond mini Hole saw. Spray bottle of water in one hand. Drill in the other. Worked good. Only issue is it bore the hole Slightly larger than the true 5/16 inch I was needing. I glued the anchors in to ensure a tight fit. Everything worked out well.

 

Looks great. Is that the same tile on the shower walls and the floor, or is that wood?

 

I used Lifeproof Vinyl plank from Home Depot on the floor and a LifeProof porcelain in the shower. Very happy with their products. It’s a basement. The waterproofness of everything is nice.

 

I finished my cord cutting HDTV and ham dual band antennas...if you are a techy you love this stuff, if you prefer to "have your landscapers blow dry your yard" you might not. (BTW I built the house too just not today).

 

You put the light switch in the shower............

Awesome job!

 

Anyone used corrugated steel for ceilings, walls, etc? Thinking about going this route for my basement.

 

Is your basement humid at all?
Might get a patina lol

 

I’ve done several commercial buildings with corrugated, also did my fence out of it.

 

Our local restaurant tore down the old building and put a new one up and they use that for the the backsplash in the booths then painted walls above that. Looks rustic but modern.

 

I'm Eye Ballin' one right now in a very old downtown building scheduled for demo. All Copper! Be sweet if I get it.
