Grant, any time you need to fasten something stop for a minute and think of how the Kreg jig works. You will be surprised at how versitile this tool is. Let me tell you of one job made super easy by the Kreg jig. Last summer I was working with one of my buddies putting vinyl siding on a tall 2 story house in Detroit. In the contract my buddy said he would replace the sofit and facia board under the roof overhang. No big deal right? The roof peak sits at 38' and to make life easy we primed and painted 1 x 6" pine boards, installed the mount for the sofit sections on them and fastened the boards to the new plywood roof underlayment with construction adhesive and you guessed it, pocket hole screws. It was very easy to drill the boards on the ground and have them ready to screw in place. I dont think we could of finished this job any other way. I should add that we were working on 24' extension ladders on top of his chevy van. I wish I had video... and the job was a total success.
