Trickle Vents or Holes in the Wall?

[JP_]

To increase ventilation in a solid brick wall home, would it not be easier, better and cheaper, so just drill some holes in the walls, rather than attempting to retrofit trickle vents into windows?

Or, are trickle vents really easy to install?

They're dead easy to install. Mark where you're going to fit them, and then work out where the holes will get drilled, once you've drilled through the frame (and there may be a metal support in the middle, so you'll meed metal drills for that part. Then you just superglue the vents to the frame.

It would not hurt to do both, depends what you want to achieve. Trickle vents in uvpc? windows are easy to fit usually just a couple of screws.
