I am patching, sanding and painting the fascia of our house before installing new eavestroughs. In order to use my Festool Rotex 150 sander effectively on the fascia, the vacuum had to be positioned within reach.
I first tried placing the vacuum on the roof but I was unhappy with it there, and I had some mishaps (such as dropping the sander and almost pulling the vacuum off the roof ).
I finally settled on the arrangement that you see in the attached photo. Work is progressing slowly, but it is progressing.
I am attaching three versions of the same photo, the second two being progressively closer up views. One thing to note is that I had to duct tape the hose to the sander otherwise it kept pulling off.
