Benn,

If you were to look at the roof from the side, it would look like this: 2x6 
tounge and grove (laid flat and exposed inside) foam board, 3/4 plywood, 
shingles.  I guess I'm looking for a way to ensure my bit goes in at the right 
angle, perpendicular to the beams inside. 

William,  Im not sure.  I was hired by a large electrical contractor to oversee 
this project.  The job required NABCEP and they didn't have anyone certified. 
These are all things that were not thought about before hand. My hope is that 
the 3/4" plywood will help, blue board is very hard to crush on its face, so I 
can only hope it holds, if not, I don't know what they will do.....
