Hi
Internal wiring - cables and connectors
Wiring isn't super glamorous but represents the essential network of roads
that interconnect all of the appliance's internal parts and links it to the
outside world.
Inside the appliance, individual wires (often multicolored to help identify
function)

If you are able to get a couple of planks up there, three quarters plywood

across five or six of the 2 by 4 stringers should work fine. You won't come
through the ceiling so long as you stay on the planks and by
Joists refer to horizontal structural members. They are the planks set on
edge under a floor or over a ceiling. It gets a little complicated because
when talking of a roof frame, the more or less triangular structures now
commonly used and known as trusses will call the horizontal members
I see, thanks for the information.
This home was built in 1941. back in the time in the U.S when things were
built to last! Not acording to who the cheapist contracter was. I'll have
to ask my neighbor but I bet his home is the same way with the 2 by 8's.

Shawn,
Ever give it a thought of putting a window in the gable and bringing up
plywood through the opening to cover the floor in the attic?

Well, through the humor, I've actually gotten some good ideas from the

Hi
Measuring your roof's pitch isn't as daunting as you might think. The pitch, or
slope, of a roof is expressed as the distance a roof rises vertically over
a 12-inch horizontal distance. So a roof that rises 6 inches vertically for
every 12 inches horizontally has a 6/12 pitch.

Max, I have been able to plug in mics that have standard mini jacks,
1/8-in plugs, into sound cards that I have had through the years and
they have worked. I know some sounds cards have rca plugs and others
have different size jacks other than the 1/8-in plug.

You have gone and ruined it. I will not be happy until I can just sit on a

Max, one indication you can get from the mic is to plug it into an
output jack on a radio or cassette machine. Even though it is a mic,
it will act like a speaker, in other words, the reverse of what it
usually does. Or, if you have a recorder, try it in it.
