Send me a PM if you are interested so we can make arrangements over the phone.

Thank you for your input. I broke a titanium tipped drill bit attempting to get through or at least into the steel beam. How thick do you think the beam is? My house was built in 2018 south of 44 (village of Desoto). Thanks, Ken
