The bit needed to be a bit bigger…

Published by Mugwug at 16:37:00 under Budget CCTV

This morning we ran some errands and I bought a bigger masonry bit to better facilitate the previously mentioned wiring. It was up to the task, and two holes in the exterior wall (and three in the interior) later we’re off to the races with three runs of RG6 and assorted support wiring.

Masonry Bit, uber style

This WAS the big one, with this run supporting three cameras, the other two efforts to bring cable in from outside are much smaller in scope at two and one camera respectively. This run also has a hole to allow power out and generator power back in, for the time being I’ve done nothing but leave a length of paracord through that hole so I can seal the interior walls back up and pull the wire through when I’m ready to tackle that project.

Now, taking a short break from fishing wire through exterior walls I’ll see if I can’t drop some cable from the master bedroom down to the basement for that integrated CCTV feed.

Good times!

    Now that’s a BIT!
    Wow, I’ve got tool envy.

    It wasn’t the biggest they had, but I needed something better than a 1/2″ 12″ bit, and that seemed to fit the bill.

    I’m acquiring quite a collection of masonry bits.
