wiring schmiring

So I started wiring the basement this week. I didn't spend a lot of time on it and I don't think it's actually going to take that long once I get down to it. I did find out that while cordless drills are fine for driving a few screws here and there they don't hold up to continuous drilling - at least not mine anyway. After drilling 3/4" holes through about 12 studs my battery is pretty much done. It could be the bit is already dull combined with being a cordless. I'm going out today to buy an auger type bit as that should go through the studs faster and cleaner than a spade bit. I'm also going to look at a corded drill as well. That should make the work go a little faster.

No pictures yet as I didn't bother taking any=)
