So here’s a call I received once at the headquarters of MyFixitUpLife, where my wife Theresa and I offer insights into building, designing, and living through renovations as professionals and as a family. The call came from a friend who was having the darndest time trying to hang some shelves on a garage wall.
His was frustrated because the wall he was trying to drill into was made of concrete. Just as he’d seen me do on other projects, he picked up some masonry bits from the store for his cordless drill, but when he tried sinking holes in the wall the bits turned cherry red and left nary a mark on the concrete. He was at a loss and didn’t know what to do.
