So i got thrown off into a cluster F**k of a job ( nothing new here but it still SUCKS ), F'd up old truck scale that we moved ( why , because the customer wanted it )
So we had to make some holes in new bace plates for anchors(Bace plate is 19"x 13"x 5/8" thick ) these holes need to be 1" so a 3/4" anchor can pass thru and secure the plate to the cement ,
I spent the better part of an afternoon drilling progressively larger holes with a Hand drill , Screw that stuff !!!!!!
Here is the bace plate ,

Zip 20 holes later , it was harder jacking up and pulling the bace plates and putting them back in than it was cutting the holes .
