solar mounts

Got a message this morning from Tom Musnicki. I looked up Ted and Lorraine and called Ted and chatted with him. Ted put Tommy on the phone. Anne had breast cancer twice and a brain tumor that wasn't getting any better. She was quite sick in the last few months then died Sunday. I called vicki and Arlene and we sent a flower bouquet to the funeral home. Sad. In the evening I found Harry Glembocki's number and called him to pass the word to the Glembocki side of the family. Around 10 this morning I went on the roof to begin the solar mounting. It was a cool day but it was really hot on the roof. The sun is brutal on the dark surfaces. I mounted the first row of roof mounts. Using a brass rod through the ridge vent I was able to locate the rafter easily. Had a little trouble getting the first bolt started inn the 7/32 predrilled hole. I eventually got a pattern setup in which I put an old socket over the nut on the end of the bolt and pounded it in the first inch. I ran out of caulk by the time of the last mount. Went to Home Depot and picked up new caulk and also the shingle ripper tool I ordered. Dinner was eggplant parmesan with a glass of Shiraz and Bluebell Nutty chocolate ice cream. The mounting rails for the solar mount system arrived via FedEx today. Now the only part remaining is the panels themselves. They are on a truck going to the Wilson trucking terminal. |
