circumstances before but the current stock won't straighten to the
required distance.

I can't get at it from above, but at least the joists run in the right
direction for me.

So what's the best way to do it?


Two coat hangers joined together?

Same objection as the measuring tape...although I have used that. Better
to use something insulated

Two coathangers joined together & insulated?!

Or just turn the power off for the 5minutes it'll take!

FFS talk about complex solutions looking for problems.


Stop making things easy.
