I also used a Bosch 18v drill for conveniences sake so I wouldn't have to switch out bits as often. The use of an electric drill is a must for the lag screws. Another tool I ended up using was a hand planer and sander - at the end I had to shave a few edges to make everything fit right. This was probably due to me making un-precise cuts or lumber that wasn't quite the exact size as what was claimed when purchased. Not having true cut lumber is a problem - a 2x12 isn't really a 2x12, and each 2x12 is not the same as the next. I did my best to examine each piece of lumber before I bought it but evidently I wasn't as careful as I should have been.
