Power tools rule

I have a new drill that I got as a wedding gift (I know its more of a gift for ME but its helpful around the house). Anyway, one of our chairs for our dining table has been broken for I dunno how long. For some reason the support strut for two of the legs broke and I tried all types of glues to hold it together but nothing worked. When my wife's father came over he suggested drilling a hole and using some screws. At the time I didn't have a drill, but now that I do I decided to give it a try. I headed out to Walmart and got some long screws and then I proceeded to drill two holes in the chair. I must say I was surprised I didn't foul up and drill a hole straight through the chair leg. I put on the screw driver attachment and drilled that philips head screw right into the hole I just finished drilling out. I tested the chair for durability and it works like new again!! WHOOHOO!! Oh happy day! Now I can't wait to drill some holes in the wall so we can put up more pictures.
