i should have added some more details...

my garage is built 'barn' style... so I'm referring to the ceiling rafters, which are not the bottom of a truss or anything. I'm pretty sure they are 2x8s.

Here's a pic of the garage and the area the sign will hang, and also a really bad drawing representing how the sign is going to hang
