I want to add a 16" "wrought iron" fence to the top of a low cinder block wall along my driveway. The wall is filled and topped with red brick.
I could just use anchor bolts of some kind, but I know this fence will be leaned on etc. by neighbor kids, so I would like to sink the 'posts' through the brick cap and into the top of the wall several inches.
How can I drill a hole 1-1/2" or 2" in diameter into the top of this wall? Because it's not a 'through' hole I'm guessing there's no way to use a coring bit? I do have a small SDS rotary hammer, but even if a 1-1/2" bit is available it seems like too big a job for that.
I'm sure this is done every day by pros with the right tools, but how should I approach it?
Thanks...
