Problem solved LOL.
Had a local not-so-Handyman homeowner from the next block up from my house ask me for a solution to his dilemma.
NOT the Evangeloon Idiot next door btw.
That 'dilemma" being, " I've got nothing I can use to punch nail holes in the sheets of corrugated iron I'm using to finish putting the roof back on my house, what can you suggest?"
A bit of quick thinking and, voila, up jumped the solution.
I simply told him to go to the nearest Hardware Shop and BUY a carton of Ready Made Nail-holes to suit the nails/screws he plans on using."
Jeez Louise, ARE there such dopey people in the rest of this world REALLY.
I mean, a hammer WILL drive the point of the nail through the sheeting, and self tapping screws will DRILL their own way through the sheeting.

In restaurants, it’s “a bucket of steam” or “bacon stretcher”

A drill would work, too.

Yep, know that for sure, but I have and use what is known as a "Marlin Spike."

That's hysterical. Hopefully the guy in the hardware store will "order" him a box of the proper size. 😆👌

But the holes from the hardware store are guaranteed to be the right depth.

On those nail holes, are they available in metric and English sizes or do you just have to kind of like match it to the fastener you're using? 🤣

The amount of people who think they can DIY vs.the ones who really can is Astounding!
After 47 years in this house, Nothing surprises me, including opening up a kitchen wall & finding the cellar coal furnace venting into the upstairs bedoom.......well, okay, my eyes got big & round......

When I was about 14-15 the kids in the neighbourhood and I used to sell pieces of red clay house bricks to the gullible tourists and tell them that they were piece of the hotel where Ned Kelly and his Gang had their last stand against the Victorian Police.
At 30 cents for a paper bag with a bit of shattered old house brick and a piece of shaved off lead thrown in for good measure we were on a roll until our parents caught on..
