Drilling in aerated concrete. A hole in the wall in a few minutes, with a normal tool.

It's like in a bike about the fact that "the thief will get into the house, having cut a window in aerated concrete, with an ordinary saw." Only my "window" is round ...

While some say that aerated concrete is a bad material because it is fragile, I try to find advantages in this.

Compliance in processing is one of its main advantages.

And I felt this even when laying the walls, when I had to make a lot of additional elements of various shapes. Especially on the gables.

✅ And now the next task is to make holes in the walls for the passage of sewer pipes.

If it were a brick, and even worse concrete, then I would need a hammer drill, special drills, a lot of effort and time.

And here I did the job in a few minutes:

Conventional drill. The chiseling effect is not needed here.

I also took a standard drill for wood (which was). Although it was easy for them to drill aerated concrete, after such work it became dull "to zero." But for me this is not news (I already wrote about the strong properties of brittle aerated concrete, here...).

Having made the holes in a circle, I connected them, punching with a piece of metal corner. Therefore, almost entirely, the piece came out. It only remained to earn extra money for the desired position of the pipe.

I don’t know what kind of thief will cut through the passage in the wall, when is it easier to knock out the window??? But the flexibility of aerated concrete, once again, played into my hands.
