I managed to get these things in using a combination of my razor cutter, a drywall saw and my sawzall when I hit a purlin in the exact place my wife wanted a can. (we had already negotiated away from the trusses)
Dust from the cutting operation was not the issue. It was the 8" of 30 year old cellulose blow in insulation that came down. By now that has degraded into about 3-4" worth of gray dust. That is miserable stuff that I would not wish on my worst enemy and he is the guy who invented it.
Another question, maybe for Harold. Back in the olden days Wiz had a trick for locating a wire in a wall with an AM radio. I know you can use a toner but I don't have one anymore. Anyone have that procedure, or a better idea?
When they were putting the roof on and had the sheathing off of a spot on an outside wall I shoved 8' of Romex in the wall and now I can't find it. I can get to the other end up in the attic but I am having a hard time correlating that to a wall cavity.
