MCA,

As I just mentioned in another post I am following your suggestion after all for building a DIY aerated bottom drain. I got all of the parts today. I started by cutting a disc from the 1/4 inch PVC. I don't have a Rotozip so I tried using a Dremel but even with its guide it was very difficult. Not only was it freehand but the Dremel at slow speeds wouldn't cut effectively and at higher speeds it got so hot that it fused the plastic right behind where I was cutting, leaving a ridge that was even harder to cut through accurately. I think that I may try using a jig saw for the remaining cuts, drilling a pilot hole first.
