I had some extra time today, so I drilled the first three holes on one side and installed the cable tie downs.
I was quite surprised at how easy the drilling was.
First of all, I found out that the "I" beams are not structural "I" beams but very flimsy. I don't know what the thickness of the web where I drilled is, but I know it is thin.
I drilled a 1/4" pilot hole at a slow speed and then used the 1/2" to enlarge it and both my drill bits were old ones.
I have three more to go on the other side, and it will be done.
