Is it a dumb move to remove my gas radiator and fit it with an electric fireplace?

Yes they are called a masonry bit. When you drill you need to do it very slowly and keep putting drops of water on the spot you are drilling. That cools the bit down and keeps it sharp.

You can also use a Glass and Tile Bit but those are kind of pricey. I had the best luck drilling into ceramic pots using a Bit Brace and a Masonry Bit. Those are the old fashioned kind of drill you crank by hand.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
