    Am I asking for trouble?

    Attic, can be a real challenge when hot, or if super low. One method I tried which worked well, was to push PVC electrical pipes from the center of the attic out to the eaves .. that worked better as once I secured both ends I could pull the cable through with an assistant keeping an eye on the...
