[vcf-midatlantic] OT: Help at InfoAge 7/31 for drilling holes, cutting blocking, mounting equipment

[David Riley]

I have a pack of decent SDS bits that I bought by accident a while ago (I don't have an SDS hammer, but hope to some day). I think there's probably a 1/4" in there; I can check, and if anyone is going up near (or passing near) Arnold, MD, I'll be glad to send them on. Can't make it up myself right now, I'm afraid.
