Hi just a quick question about drilling into concrete. I am building a wood shed and the posts are going into holders which will be fixed to a concrete block in the ground. My question is would it be better to drill the holes for the fixings before the concrete is fully hardened and then let the concrete set fully before fixing the post holder or should I wait until it has fully cured before I drill the holes? Thanks for any help.

Wait until it is fully dried out otherwise you may end up with a hole to big, and a small tip when drilling, use a small bit first to give you a pilot hole then work up to the size you want.
