Drilling Pilot Holes When Installing Insulation

Video Transcript

"Hi, we are going to be insulating these walls. It’s an older house and we recently discovered despite our thoughts they are indeed not insulated in the walls. These walls are a little harder to tell exactly where the studs are. You can kind of knock along and you can use a stud finder. Another thing I am checking because we kind of intermittently run into insulation, so I’m drilling small pilot holes with just a regular drill bit before I go to the effort of cutting a huge hole. It’s just kind of a major patchwork effort. Whereas a small hole isn't. We have a stud here so I am moving over about 8 inches and drilling my hole. Sure enough there is no insulation in that hole either. I can tell because I pull out my drill bit and nothing sticks to it. I got another whole section without insulation. "
