[RE-wrenches] Pilot Hole Template

[Will White]

Have you looked at EcoFastens Eco-65 plate?  We used them on a roof similar to what you've got and went right into the 2x6 so we didn't have to go into the structural members.  They've got a flashing that will work with asphalt roofs.

Just make sure you get the right length fasteners so it doesn't go through the finished ceiling inside.

Thanks,
Will

Subject: [RE-wrenches] Pilot Hole Template

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 bit doesn't wander when I'm going through the blue board.  If I miss the beams inside, the hole or the lag would be exposed.

Anybody run across this? Ideas?  I thought of maybe using a qucikmount flashing, with a short section of EMT attached to help guide the bit....

Thanks!

Jesse
