Yup drilling into post tension is playing Russian Roulette.

Just read up on the post tension slab and now I'm worried. I don't want to be liable for destroying a house I don't own, so I think I'm gonna bolt it to the wall. I read that it can either be marked with a stamp or not. I will be covering it so people can't see it when the garage door is open.Comment

Good idea about camouflaging it. Make sure to lock up any tools in the garage too. Make the thieves bring their own.Comment

As a former landlord, just drilling a couple of holes in the garage floor would have been considered a gift compared to the other damage rental scum is capable of....Comment

I'm thinking about just calling the landlord and asking him if he's cool with it. What do you guys think of that idea?Comment

You make a good point. I guess the reason I'm so torn on what to do is because A. It's not my house and B. For some reason I feel that drilling into concrete is way more serious than drilling into wood. JDay how far down into the ground do I have to dig to see those holes if they're there?Comment

You shouldn't have to dig. They'll be visible on at least one side of the foundation if it's post tension. And a masonry bit would have a hard time cutting a cable if you hit one, just go slow and check the hole if you feel resistance.Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace. -- James Madison
