what common household DIY task requires over an hour of continuous power drilling? trying to work out what my neighbours are doing but the only thing I can think of is “route out the entire wall until all that remains is dust”

maybe theyre just trying to hang a picture but they cant get it in quite the right place

@Satsuma it must be something like, enough shelves for 1000 books

@jk They’re redoing their whole apartment with ikea furniture and that room has the best light

@jk
same thing has been happening in the apt. upstairs from mine for the last couple days, but they were hammering (dowels?) in between. I can only assume they are mounting a mosaic piece by piece at this point.

@jk putting in new sockets in the wall mayhap, or putting up a hell of a lot of shelves right on the wall itself

@jk though preparing holes for new sockets would likely come with hammering and scraping in between as well, unless they're doing all the drilling up front
