*its not the getting it up part I have a problem with*

that's what they all say ...;o)

anyway ....

If you've got plenty of holes in the joists already ... would it be
possible
to move the pipe parallel with the joist, until a suitable 'notching' point
is found ? - I know that would use more pipe overall...  or how about
continue the pipe upto the ceiling .. and bring it down ... but I guess
that
may have an adverse effect on the stuff that's sucked up the pipe ??

HTH !

That sounds like a very smart solution! But, its not the
getting it up part
I have a problem with, its the horizontal part through the
1st floor joists,
I don't want to notch them, and there are that many holes in
this particular
section as it has all the wiring for the 1st floor going
that way already!

I may look at going up to the attic and dropping down as a
last resort.

Time to pull up some more floorboards :)
