There isn't enough room to fit the LED mount within the shallow cavity created by the ceiling sheetrock. Makes sense. A buddy of mine recommended the same thing. I was hoping to avoid it because my "attic" is a pain to navigate. It has blow-in insulation between and over the joists so finding sure footing is a challenge. Then I'll have to clear the stuff out to nail in the support and deal with the itch and irritation the rest of the day. It's a ceiling joist so it won't have to deal with any additional load like a flooring joist, but to be on the safe side it's probably best to add support. *sigh* (01-19-2021, 01:48 PM)RicoTx Wrote:(01-19-2021, 11:30 AM)homebiscuit Wrote: Question for Rico, or anyone else suitably knowledgeable about carpentry.
