The space between the rafters and the "bottom" of the soffit on the inside is less than I need to get any kind of elbow in there. I need to look for some flat ductwork or have something made up. I've got a good roofing contractor that I can talk to about it. I may even have him do it and be done with the project. |

Yeah I heard that last night, and it puzzled me. Kevlar is very good for stopping object penetration without the weight penalty, but what kind of penetration is it intended to prevent when used as a ribcage protector? Jon |

Jon I assume it isn't to prevent penetration, but simply to distribute, over a wider area, any shock from a blow to the ribs. |

Back off the pressure and take my finger off the trigger is what I do Works every time. Let's say the drill is turning 600 RPM. That gives you 1/10 of a second to react, while standing on a ladder 28' in the air. Good luck with that. |
