I'm about to bore a 4.5 in.hole through my rim joist for a bathroom vent. I'd like to bore the hole as close to the top of the rim joist as possible because of a possible obstruction on the outside (the house is "stuccoed" and the so-called "belly-band" may get in the way) Is there any rule as to how close to either top or bottom of this joist you may drill?
also,a related question: all the "hole saws" available seem to have a max drilling depth short of what I need. the rim joist is 1.5 in.thick and the wood siding and stucco add another .5 in.+ or so.. is there a "super deep" hole saw out there? yes,I COULD try boring from both sides (which might be the only option)but it would be tough!
tnx,
