The deal with my wife was that she would get a high-end kitchen in return for giving up her house in town. The gas guy and his helper arrived today to run the line for the new DCS range. In an old stone house nothing is easy but things went normally until they drilled a hole though the west wall. Or somewhere. The 32" drill didn't make it through, and they had started in a cavity 18" deep. Much perturbation and attempted excavations from both sides came to naught until I grabbed an old ground rod and sledge and determined to bludgeon my way through the wall. Nearly gave the assistant a third nostril as I pushed the 6' ground rod through some mortar and up to the hilt. 54" of stone wall. Why would anyone built one like that? the time of construction in the late 1830's. as anyone else run into a really thick wall in a house?
