Sounds like it would work, to me, but if it were me I would use

wire
instead. You can probably place wire more effectively in your attic

and
just use an SGC antenna coupler to tune it at the feedpoint. Would
probably not only work better, but would be cheaper, too.

I suppose someone has written on the topic before. But is that like a
crime in this group?

I suppose a person might with a lot of effort to synchronise the
screwdrivers, and a whole heck of lot of money for the screwdrivers
themselves, manage to put a really mediocre antenna in their attic!

There are a lot more cost effective solutions out there.
