    You know the difference between drilling and boring? Drilling is when you use a rotating tool to make a hole, boring is sitting around and talking about it.

      If you’re going to bore into your foundation you need to be prepared to do it right. Now, do you have extruded poly-vinyl foam insulation? Good. Assemble the aluminum J-channel using self-furring screws. After applying brushable coating, use corrosion-resistant metal stucco lathe. If you can’t find metal stucco lathe, use carbon fiber stucco lathe! Now barge the lathe.

        Speaking as someone who’s only ever done DIY stuff in another language, that was more confusingly arcane than boring, really 🤷🏻
