I'm half way through installing celotex in the eves, and I've hit a problem. I don't see how I can get access to fit the last couple of pieces.
The image at the bottom should show the problem, but in short:
I'm installing the celotex behind the wall that will form the boundary of the room. There is no access to the space behind (or won't be, once I fit the celotex). I need to pull the celotex onto the wooden frame from the inside of the room. However, it's a tight fit. Two pieces just fit on top of each other when laid horizontally, but they require a decent bit of force to jam them home (the angled timber at the top has required shaving off a corner).
I have no idea how I can pull the celotex from this side without ripping/breaking it.
Ideas?
The only alternative I've thought of is to cut the celotex and jam it in between the vertical pieces of wood (sorry, dunno name, vertical joists?), but that's not my preferred option as I can't then get it down behind the bricks (right of the picture here).
