Sorry to hear about your back.

Your description of the installation is promising. I generally expect 'shooting' through wood siding to be more successful than wet or snow covered shingles. Is there room to move the antenna inside the attic, in search of a 'sweet spot'?

Does the current mounting location 'look' or point into the neighbors house?
