My guess is that it will all have to be done from the ladder. I don't
want to spend upwards of $45 for a 4" hole saw and arbor...
Surely you already have a holesaw arbor???
The 4" holesaw shouldn't be but $15 or so even at the local Ace; if you
have a HF it's probably half of that or less...a 3-piece set of large
sizes is $20 or there's bound to be a bargain-tool bin around various
outlets...
Of course, the few pilot holes and a keyhole saw works...or a small trim
router wouldn't be too hard to handle or even one of the multi-tools.

Actually, I don't have a hole saw arbor. The very few round holes I've
needed to cut have always been small enough that no arbor was needed.
However, a friend has a hole saw kit that goes up to 3 1/2". Maybe I
could use his arbor and just buy the 4" holesaw. Are arbors brand-
specific or generic?
I do however have a set of keyhole saws so I'll bring those along.
Thanks!
