    Aquia and drilling holes in tile

    Uni-fitted As promised, I'm back to share my experiences. I finally received the toilet from *********.com, only took 2 months :) I drilled the required 6 holes. The first one took me about 45minutes. The remaining took around 8 minutes a piece! The key was to go buy more carbide drill...
