Default Soldering in tight spaces

Hi,

In the followling picture, you are looking up at an overhead soffit
where I have to insert tees in the 1/2" copper lines running across
the picture.

Is it doable or is just too tight to undertake given all the
electrical wires, the heater lines and the gas line?

Many thanks in advance,

Aaron

It is outright dangerous to use a torche in this tight space (with
electric and gas so close), no matter the shield you use. The wood
gets very dry over the years and it doesn't take much heat to start a
fire. Please don't do it without the help of a professional.
