I will be having my 40b drilled for SINGLE overflow to sump.
However as I have always had external overflow boxes I don't know enough to know what would be best.
Is it better to bottom drill or back drill?
Larger diameter pipe seems the best idea.
I will cover the area in question with an overflow box.
I have no intention of having a drilled return.
Any opinions about work you may have done differently? Anyone feel great about their hole placement and choice of overflow box? How did you do it/how would you do it?
I watched a video on you-tube and am 100% certain I could free-hand drill a hole myself. (that last sentence sounds like a disaster waiting to happen)
However, I am going to price out the local glass place vs a hole saw bit and my time. If I pay 40% more than the cost of the bit to have a pro do it, Id be happy. I will certainly have them create me a glass back and front to silicone to reinforce the new hole.
