This is my first time doing any significant DIY so I learned about the electrical zones today, and that's part of the reason why I wanted to check with you. Because where I would be drilling is within 15cm of the ceiling. It'll also actually be the first time even operating a power drill. I think i got the right one? It's a black and decker hammer drill that says it's good for masonry. Where I'll be drilling sounds very very solid, if you know what I mean, when I knock on it. Like an exterior wall. I don't know if that's good or bad. I think I will take your suggestions and just go slowly, drill a little way then poke around with a screwdriver and see if I touch anything plastic. I assume electrical wires are encased in hard plastic shell, right?</p></blockquote><p></p>
