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.
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.
