Ah yes ... I did use the blue Tapcon masonry screws and while I
purchased a bit that was "designed for use with Tapcon masonry
screws," I did not actually purchase a Tapcon bit.

In Pacifica, Calif., the median temperature is 55 degrees; I've lived

same thing? Any positive experiences with specific products that
anyone would like to share?
