Low tech fits in my tool case easier. The tough part is getting around the beams with the two hands holding the string, while holding the flashlight with your third at an angle to cast a decent shadow. Maybe that head strap LCD light would work here strapped to a beam. I'll have to look into that and save having to fight tape and forearm cramps. In any case, I'd sure like to see SOME crown there, but seldom do in an old compression crowned board. Like I said, that's the area that goes flat first. Ron N
