What happens here
The video demonstrates the process of drilling holes into existing outdoor pavers, which are typically made of concrete or natural stone, to prepare for the installation of flush-mounted in-ground lighting. A worker uses a heavy-duty rotary hammer drill, fitted with a specialized diamond core drill bit, to create circular openings. The drilling process requires careful positioning and firm pressure to ensure clean, accurate holes. Water is present on the pavers, likely used to cool the drill bit and suppress dust, which helps in achieving a smoother cut and prolonging the bit's life. The narration indicates multiple holes are being drilled for 'in-lights' that will be flush with the paver surface.
Goal: Create precise openings in pavers for in-ground lighting fixtures.
