Label Post and Drill Preservative Holes

What happens here

Before drilling, the creator uses a hammer to attach one of the small metal date clips to the upper portion of the wood post. This clip serves as a permanent record of the treatment date. Next, he prepares to drill the holes. According to the instructions, the holes should be drilled at ground level. For this post, that's where the concrete foundation meets the wood. He plans to drill three holes, each at a 45-degree angle, as low as possible into the post. Using his Milwaukee FUEL cordless drill with a 3/8-inch drill bit, he proceeds to drill the first hole into the wood post.

Goal: Prepare the post by marking the treatment date and creating precise holes for the preservative.
