Even worse when the roof and the headliner is just fiberglass and luan and not aluminum. The original opening had collapsed between either side of the joists since all that was supporting it was the inner and out luan. The 1.5" oak boards fit in exactly. The boards are usually marked as 2"x1" but in reality they measure 1.5"x3/4" and are exactly the correct size needed to go between the roof and ceiling luan.
