You are going to need a propper drill for this. We used a DeWalt battery hammer drill to drill through tiles. At some point it broke so we rented a proper "wall power" hammer drill and it took 30 seconds instead of 10 minutes to drill each hole. Well worth it!

Hi guys, I've been watching for quite a while. I'm a (medically) retired general contractor. I am getting worried about you getting dried in and heated so your footings don't heave, so I have to give you unsolicited advice: Throw those hammer-drill bits away! Get a Bosch Bulldog or similar SDS drill and it will pay for itself in a day of drilling concrete!

you can if the SDS bit is new and sharpened. AND high quality Tungsten carbide so it STAYS sharp for a while. But it would be easier to predrill them with a bigger wood bit in the battery drill and then switch to the SDS pneumatic hammer drilling machine for the concrete.

My crews used the same bits for years (I'm old) and thousands of holes and never got dull going through wood before hitting concrete. $20 for any name brand SDS bit is for a lifetime for most people.
@ealingbadger

No, they don't get dull it just doesn't fell right - all that heat and they are a lot slower going through timber than the concrete that they are designed for. I would have three drills on hand to tackle this task with maximum efficiency: 18V battery drill fitted with a Bosch 'Multiconstruction' bit to pierce the timber. SDS hammer drill to melt through the concrete in seconds Second battery drill (impact driver) to drive the fastener in Much quicker and MUCH less frustrating overall. (The reason for the multiconstruction bit is that it drills timber almost as fast as a standard twist drill bit but doesn't instantly dull when you hit the concrete - as you inevitably will coming out of the back side of the timber.)

just a quick hello from france! you use a cordless drill with hammer function, but what you need, to drill concrete, is a rotary hammer(not sure how it is called in the US) . They look the same , but are fundamentaly different. Rotary hammer are with sds chuck, and you need sds drill bit too, but once you have used it in concrete, you will never use hammer drill anymore. for a rotary hammer, search "dewalt DCH253P2 18V XR li-ion SDS+" as an example, For the drill, check "Bosch X5L SDS-Plus Full Head Carbide for Concrete & Rebar" it will change your life.

Those hammer drill modes on drills are useless for any actual work. They are a very temporary way to make a small hole for recreational use. A proper rotary hammer drill will plow a 1" hole in 30 seconds with a good bit. Definitely get yourself a proper drill, even if you have to rent it for only a few days!

Tips from a guy who drills concrete a lot, for those who don't: 1) Pre-drill your holes through the lumber. Use a wood bit for that. Faster, easier, doesn't put any wear on the concrete bit before necessary. Not that it would wear the bit, but it's good practice to use the right bit for the job. 2) Woodpeckering the concrete hole is a smart plan. Pull the bit every few millimeters to clear the dust, especially if you're already going through wood. It doesn't clear well through the lumber. 3) Don't use full speed. Too fast = too hot, and the bit loses temper and goes soft. At that point it's useless. I also keep a pail of water to dip the point into when woodpeckering, just to keep things extra cool. Cooler is gooder.

watts is not a measure of energy, its a measure of power. energy is measured in watt hours or joules. Watts is a measure of how much power is being used or generated at this instant. If you want to know how much energy you generated in a day you need multiply the watts times the amount of time you generated that amount of watts for. This is measured in Watt hours (Watts times Hours).

When he joins in on a job and he breaks it out other Men ohh and ahhh at how well it works and then they go out and buy one too. His model is no longer available though😟.

You should never need muscle to drill into or through concrete. My "seated in my armchair" advice, is that you use two drill bits a wood bit and a concrete bit. From experience, concrete bits have a toughened tip on the end which is melded into softer steel of the concrete bit. When you consider the effect of friction exacerbated by the amount of strength you were applying to the drill and the time taken to push, and push, the drill bit in to the wall. The end of the bit falls off and you have as much success drilling into the concrete as pushing a spinning nail into the wall. Position your wood and carefully mark where you need holes. Pre-drill holes in the wood using the marks and a wood bit, either same gauge or slightly larger. The amount of time, effort, battery power saved will be phenomenal, and give you a much happier time of it. You two are inspirational. Keep up the great work,

(The first search hit on KZfaq explains to work from the corners to the common joint) - Not seeking the help and advise of an experienced builder or engineer. - How on earth are you going to connect the ground floor concrete slab to the walls? Why isn't it poured before raising the walls? - Debris inside the wall to ensure the concrete does NOT adhere to the footing? - And the list goes on and on.

+JieDoyle Properly cured and kilned lumber won't twist. All of those problems used to be dealt with at the lumber yard. But most lumber today is sold green cut which, will turn into pretzels. But, we idiots today, are too stupid to know what good lumber is, or what it used to be.

Yes, i agree. I too have tried some unconventional ideas found on the internet. And like Jessie, what i have found is that they promote it based on one concept ( like the horizontal bracing being stronger) but the downside of everything else out ways the benefits. And of course they never tell you of the downsides.....My rocket mass heater is an example of that. I got it done in the end... but had to use a lot of my own concepts, and in the end it was a 2,000.00 dollar build, not the inexpensive build that they promote.

When I did it it took about 1 hour per minute. So figure shes shes more skilled than I, so say 30 minute total work per 1 min video. 20 min video, is about 10+ hours of work. This includes getting all of the film together, playing it to see what's there. Splicing in the scenes, then replaying and editing it about 10 times.

The speed of the computer is a second order effect. Let's say they each recorded 3 hours of video that day. First she has to copy the data to her system and organize it and setup the SW for that day. Say 30 min. The she has to go through 6 hours of video and decide what to use. Say she's good at fast forward and clipping. 4 hours or so. Then she combines the clips and plays it once. Another hour or two, most of this is just playing the video. Then she clips out dead time and then overlays music, another couple hours of work, and again most of this is re watching the video and editing small details now. This does not include adding the links in the video to older videos or finding the music samples. Then getting the boiler plate stuff for the video page. Then one final pass though. All of this is an easy 8-15 hours of work and most of it is not bounded by the speed of her Mac. Its simple, tedious editing.

About this guy you've chosen, I really don't know... you're setting yourself up to spending the rest of your life with a self-centered man, in love with the sound of his own voice, a nightmare I truly don't envy... your choice, but are you walking into this with your eyes OPEN, girl? PS: You don't have to (shouldn't) play dumb to keep his ego inflated, it clearly is already plenty full and one would have a hard time deflating it any.

Yeah, I got you. By the same token I could be right, right? At least give me that... It's just that this goes on episode after episode, of this guy and his utterly transparent bs, the "experienced" member of the duo that, in fact, is all bs. I mean, I could probably be around this egomaniac in love with himself for a couple of days, after which the air would get hard to breathe -- Alyssa is choosing to breathe it for the rest of her life, and she's young! But I'm only going by what they show, of course, it's entirely possible that in real life he's entirely different than what is shown here... unlikely, but possible. But the point is that Alyssa knows what I am talking about, and I probably know a thing or two that she hasn't lived yet. Whatever... what I thought needed to be said has been said...

Per Frank C below. Pre drill your timber, mark the hole on the concrete (e.g. start the hole) and then drill the concrete without the timber. The concrete dust needs to clear the hole in order for the drill to work properly - the timber restricts and confines the dust in the hole so your drill needs to work x2 as hard. Then put your timber on and screw. Tip #2 get your generator out and use an AC powered hammer drill.

I love my cordless drill! It's a lightweight tool that does a lot. There is no way that a cordless drill is suited for drilling concrete or any other heavy duty operation. For drilling hard surfaces, you need a power source that has lasting abilities with serious power, so it needs to be power mains (120VAC/240VAC) corded electric drill or compressed air (pneumatic) drill, period! You have brought a knife to a gun fight!

Guys, a little advice. Dont drill wood and concrete at the same time. #1drill the wood over size #2 mark the holes on your concrete. #3 move wood aside. #4 drill the concrete. You see the wood absorbs the shock of the hammer drill ans it will not break the concrete at the end of the drill bit. Also use a washer on the concrete anchor

Not that you're asking for advice, but I feel your pain drilling concrete. My advice is to predrill the boards with a wood bit slightly oversized then use the predrilled holes as a guide for drilling concrete. Also, you'd be amazed at how much faster and easier a larger hammer drill works.
