Thanks for the info. I have a situation in this new rough where the homeowner wants cans placed in a lower foyer that is surrounded by lams. I always thought that you could not drill them but now I know differently. Thanks again.

Thanks Bullheimer! I added it to the "Noteworthy Links" section of the FAQs.

By the way, I live just outside of Nunn as well, we should get coffee sometime at the cafe.

It really depends on the opinion of the structural engineer on the project. Not what the spec says... The Engineer may have the Glu-lam fully loaded, and spec that no holes be drilled. Drilling one without an RFI could cost you a pretty penny.
