Stupid ,Stupid , Stupid!!!!!

I have been putting a new interior in my 1991 burb , last night was a big rush because I finally got permission to drive again from my doctor and I could drive my little boy to school. So I had to mount the new seat belts from seatbeltplanet.com , sized it up several times . Knew I was close to the rear ac lines. Checked , double checked and drilled right through one! AAAAAAAAhhh.
Never rush through a job especially when your exhausted!
Did I feel stupid with my wife standing behind me and the street filled with fog from the refrigerant?
Any ideas about repairing one of these lines?

PS. nothing kills weeds coming up in the cracks of your driveway like four cans worth of refrigerant!

If it's aluminum you can buy a A/C specific Compression fitting if it's justa small hole. If it's the flexible portion you should be able to have a competent hose maker put in new flexible to your hard lines.

Or you could just buy a new line.

Its certainly not a small hole, I tore the line in half!

Can't help with the repairs, but NEVER do any kind of automotive work with a wife/girlfriend in the area. You'll screw something up every time, some sort of voodoo effect they have on stuff.
"I meant to do that" doesn't work with the freon fog around you, does it?
