alright I'm going to go ahead and thread these nuts down to 24 inches cuz the
chimney is 23 I'd rather do that sitting here in the shade of my shop then up on
the roof in a son are you starting to starting to see what I'm building here
and then the second brackets where this is going to chimney is three inches
smaller so these holes are closer than these holes so I'm almost to the point
or I'll be climbing up there and throwing everything up there see you on
the roof
okay I got to cut the tails off the quarter inch threaded rod get my solar
panel up here then I got to run to town and get a pole for my ham antenna get
that wire run we're getting there let me get that a solar panel up here and get
me a hacksaw so I can cut these off alright I've got the panel aimed exactly
south I've got this the azimuth set 28 degrees from horizontal it might be a
little more 82 degrees is what I'm supposed to set this at for my latitude
and the time of the year and it probably need to come up a little closer to
horizontal but that's a start I'm fixing to tighten everything down and I have an
angle gauge i'm going to set on here with a level and just see where I'm at
but I'm fixing to tighten them you clamps down and then I got to run to the
store get a pole for my ham radio antenna and start wiring stuff all right
I'm having to hold the camera with one hand so I can't show you how I'm going
to do this this is my angle gauge set on eight degrees it's this is supposed to
be 80 degrees 82 degrees so that's eight degrees from being horizontal so I set
this on eight degrees I'm going to set this here and I have a level that i'm
going to set here here's my level right here i'll set my level like that on this
and when this says it's level then this is set at eight degrees all right I'm
going to do that and then oh yeah i got my hacksaw I want to cut all the tails
off of these here and then I'm gonna go get my pipe for the antenna here
sorry my hands are sweaty and the phone is flipping there we go eight degrees I
my hands are shaking maybe I can fix that with a YouTube handshake and
picture thinger all right I'm off to the store just thought i'd give you a shot
of this from the ground and a dog shot already I've assembled the antenna now I
got to get the mashed in here and bolt this to the mast and tighten everything
up and then I'm going to wrap electricians tape around the mast and
the coax and let me go get that mast in here okay mast is on yeah I got to bring
it all in here rest it on this table and the chair over there and take my
electricians tape and attach this coax to the pole all right I'm going to do
that and then I'm going to have a I have to go out this door and over my fence
which is between my shop in my house over my fence and the ladder is like
right out back here alright see you on the roof good lord I can't believe I
used to do roofing for a living it's a ninety six hundred percent humidity heat
index probably about 107 and right here on the roof it's probably about 115
right down into my window where my man cave is or my radio room all right I got
a wire the solar panel up run them wires down and then I have a I have to put a
ground wire on here I still got a lot to do okay i am doing up there I've got my
wires for the here we go I've got my wires for the solar charger this is my
ground wire for the for the bracket I don't have a ground rod yet it's going
to go right in here this is a six gauge wire that's all I need is that ground
rod and now now I got to hook these wires up to my my charger controller and
then from there to the battery and then I'm going to go from the battery to a
switch box and I'm going to put that pump the lights out here and a light in
my living room on a switch out here but that's another video now I'm off I'm off
the roof and on the ground and this is a whole nother project here I got to save
a little money and buy some switches and a ground rod
it's a wire i'm going to upload this thanks for watching we have and i
suppose it by saying it I'm just as far away from you for me alrighty and once
again a thank you to the folks who who hooked me up with the ham radio supplies
won't be long I will have my license one step at a time and as a bonus you get to
see Brad's chicken legs no not damn chicken legs 350 degrees half hour on
one side 350 degrees half hour on the other side I got this savory herb with
garlic let's prank like half the package on the top we want to take it out half
an hour from now and flip them all over I'll sprake the rest of the package on
the bottom eat and repeat I don't know if it's the same frog or not but we have
another occupant I don't think it's the same frog
maybe it is hello there well anyway maybe it is that'd be nice I'm going to
say it is it still kind of kind of big the other one was pretty big and and
he's actually the biggest frog we have around here so maybe he just got lost
