[RE-wrenches] Pilot Hole Template

2012-12-11 Thread Jesse Dahl
Hello, The roof I'm currently working on is not a typical roof. The construction is as follows: 2"x6" tongue and groove exposed inside, with 4 inches of foam (blue board) and on top of that 3/4" plywood with asphalt shingles on top of that. I'd like to make a template to ensure that my pilot bi

Jesse, I can't picture how you will use the flashing and EMT as a guide? 2x6 tongue and groove? So is it laid flat (interconnecting the T&G) or is it on edge like a truss? Either way, if you can establish a reference point from inside to the roof, then from the inside (if accessible) accurately

Benn, If you were to look at the roof from the side, it would look like this: 2x6 tounge and grove (laid flat and exposed inside) foam board, 3/4 plywood, shingles. I guess I'm looking for a way to ensure my bit goes in at the right angle, perpendicular to the beams inside. William, Im not

William, Given that blueboard (extruded polystyrene) can be safely used as an insulation layer beneath and directly supporting batteries, crushing is simply not an issue, especially with plywood to spread out point forces. Blueboard has tremendous resistance to

You can get drill guide attachments that hold the drill perpendicular to the roof surface. I've never used one on a roof, but it could be helpful... http://www.sears.com/craftsman-drill-guide/p-00967173000P?prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1 *Jason Szumlanski** * *Fafco Solar* On Tue, Dec 11, 201

Unfortunately, these don't work for us in hurricane-land unless we want to get really close spacing. We generally need to hit structural members in Southwest Florida. We have used Ecofasten bases on flat roofs with metal decking, but wind uplift is still an issue in most cases. *Jason Szumlanski**
