I'm fitting an outside tap to my home. When I bought the house I was told by the surveyor that it's timber framed.
I started by drilling through the outside wall for the pipe. I drilled through the masonry and then after a large gap (2 - 3 inches) the drill hit wood. I lost confidence to continue so stopped drilling.
I don't know what that wood is - structural? Cladding? Should I continue drilling?
Has anyone else come across this when drilling through the wall of a timber framed house?
