Creating provisions for the A/C piping that will be done after the plastering stage. We embed this into the wall and plaster the wall, creating a hole in the process for copper tubes, electrical cables and water pipes to connect the indoor and outdoor units.

I bought this roll of hose to use in the A/C conduit system. This will hide into the wall, the connection wire, copper tubes and water hose between the indoor unit and outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

Ndewo oga syder please I want to know if this kind of borehole can be dug Enugu. Asking because the soil around here is relatively strong(very stony) compared to the one in the pictures above.

In Enugu? Yes but not with this type of hand held equipment. In Enugu you have to bring along a truck mounted rig that can go down a longer depth, its not unusual to go down 600ft with many incidences of hitting a big rock.
