Hogging


Dean, our plumber, was on site today ripping out old plumbing and making room for the new stuff. In this photo he's hogged out a hole for the bathroom sink drainpipe. Hogging is different than drilling. To hog is to tear out in chunks, usually leaving a rough finish. Drilling produces particles of dust and leaves a smoother finish. Hogging typically takes a lot less time than drilling, which makes it a useful process for a plumber.
