When you're installing lag bolts it's helpful to start with a pilot hole. You can go along the run drilling shallow pilot holes, use a drill bit that's slightly smaller than your lag bolt diameter, then change tools and drive in the lag bolts. It may seem like an extra step but it save a lot of time and effort in the long run. Thanks for all your great videos. I'm a big fan!
