Fencing - core drill

[cactus]

I have a limestone retaining wall at the back of my house and need to drill out some rather larger holes to fit the colorbond fencing. I was hoping that someone on here works with fences/landscaping and has a core drill that they would kindly lend/come around and use it themself. It is only the back wall which needs drilling (about 18m wide so I would guess around 10 or so holes?). Its $200 to hire one out from Coates...

If anyone can help out, it would be greatly appreciated. Obviously I'm happy to pay something :)

Edit: While I'm at it, may aswell see if anyone here deals with roll-on grass. Need to also get my hands on a fair bit of this aswell!

If ya get stuck don try classic hire I think it's called, along kenwick link in maddington.
We hired one from here when we did my cousins fence was heaps cheaper then coates.

as for DIY turf, mine was 50cents m2 more installed through the bloke i listed above , than what i could find it elsewhere to buy it & DIY it.

for 50c m2 extra it wastnt worth the time & effort , plus it would have cost me more than that to hire a compactor to do it properly.

Haha yeah I was planning on doing it myself ... thats why I asked if anyone knows where I can buy it cheap :) But now that Matt has told me who he used and what it cost I am considering that option!

Oh and PM sent :)

have you considered putting in runners and growing lawn rather than goin roll on?
Cost you 1/10th of what roll on will the only downside is that it doesnt look good straight away.
Thats what we're plannin on doin.

i found the quote. to core drill into the limestone was $170 for 18 metres. for bluescope steel 1.8metre colourbond was $1,069.20 if your interested, he did all the fitting & suply and was done in 1.5 days :)
