Jeff and Bert prepare to help levitate the first 3-module assembly up to Mike and Lloyd on roof.

 

 

 

The crew guides the three-module assembly up the ladder as Lloyd pulls up on the rope and Mark (not shown) belays the rope from the other side of the house.

 

Picture

 

Each 3-module assembly was set into the brackets which were installed on the roof. Four pins with large fender washers were bolted to the mounting rails. Each pin fit into the 'L'-shaped slot on the bracket as shown at right.

 

The mounting brackets were fastened through the roof with lag screws which penetrated the roof rafter below.

An sticky-backed roof sealant is provided with the roof brackets and provides the water-proof weather seal on to the roof.
