Attaching tongue and groove from below
Building a small uninsulated lean-to shed next to a Friggebod, and the shed's rafters go under the eaves of the Friggebod with maybe 10cm clearance for height. (Wanted to get as close as possible both for standing height in the shed and to prevent a large pocket of snow).
Now that I'm about to place the last/highest 5 boards of the sheathing, I realize I won't manage to nail them because there's too little space above to use a hammer or fit a screwdriver!
Is there any way to attach them from below? You could nail/screw them diagonally from below through the rafters, but is that the best method? There's a risk that you might accidentally drive a screw tip up on the top side. Maybe just glue them?
This is extremely not-so-critical regarding how well it turns out; it's a storage space that will be breezy and will only contain things like shovels, soil bags, and a lawnmower. Paving stones on the floor and open to blowing in leaves and snow at the feet - so a drop of water from the roof isn't a big problem. But I thought if anyone has any tips because I can envision swearing a lot while placing the last of the sheathing…
Also wondering how to manage attaching the roofing felt in that tight space, but that's the next problem.
