 that bit smaller!   This way you may also get to do it in the comfort of the
 house, since they certainly will object to working in the garage if the
 temp/humidity isn't just right.  Of course you have to put up with the

Yes, she's done those louvers several times over the years. Around here, the 
temp and humidity are about the same, whether indoors or out, since we don't 
have conditioned air in our house. Actually it's usually a little cooler 
outside, so she doesn't mind too much. : ) Also, with all the sets she's done for me 
over the years, she's never really complained, other than those first couple 
of finger smashes in the corners, but then that happens to the best of us too. 
:O The plus for me is that she's a little taller than I am, so she can reach 
the center of the roof easier than I can, which works out real great. : )
