At first glance of my problem as seen through the opening that I had made in the ceiling, the man said that this would be a major work project unless...Then he looked at it for a minute and said "I think I can do it without having to open up the wall". He then started to proceed, going in and out of the house to his truck at least 10 times to fabricate special pieces that would be necessary. The work was so ingenious that I marveled all the while as I watched him perform. I am a handyman myself.
