A lady friend asked me to help her hang a planter outside. I thought simple enough, but was skeptical because she is pretty handy, own and air bnb rents this place. ...
So I go to hang the planter. Its a stucco wall. No biggie, I have a plethora of drilling and fastening options. I figured drill through the stucco and send in a wood screw.
Go thru the stucco and was stopped dead in my tracks. Turns out the stucco is covering a window that use to be there. Then I saw the cracks.
Based on my drill point and the cracks in the stucco, I am probably hitting the metal frame and not glass.
whatever is behind that stucco ate up whatever I threw at it. Masonry bits, self centering bits, 135 degree metal drilling bits. Nothing came close to penetrating.
What is this mystical drill proof material behind the stucco? I can't believe after the mountains I have moved, a stupid planter hanging stumped me, because of the exact location this lady wants it.
Gods sense of humor is very wonderful sometimes. I'd like to accept his challenge and get a drill bit through this. I might borrow my buddy concrete drill and anchor it in the wall to poke through.
Any ideas? how would you poke a hole in adamantium? Stupid planter.
