    Take your time a stay calm. It is not as difficult as it seems it you take it slow and let the weight of the drill do the work.

    Thanks 2in10.

    Hmm..where is the duct tape & plumber's putty? We've come to a halt.

    I also just realized I was about to drill the wrong side of the tank. lmao. That would have sucked.

    Thanks! Once I got it started it went very well. It didn't take long either.
