Yeah, I'm now thinking my biggest "tortoise install" problem is going to be the handful of turnouts I laid without remembering to drill the hole first. Now I've got to drill a small "guide hole" from above, then try to drill the full-bore hole out from underneath. The main concern is depth, of course. I'll probably run a 1/2" bit through some drywall sheets a few times to dull it up pretty good, then just go really slow... I suppose it might be safer to pull up those turnouts and associated track to drill the hole top-down like it should have been from the outset... But I just hate the thought of it.<br>
