Day 5 - installing staging
| Jul 19, 2006. Time Invested today: 0:45 Get the staging and setting it up. |
  The
day before installing the collectors, my neighbor John Rogers (in the red
shirt) came by to look over the equipment and discuss installation
strategy. He is an experienced home builder, and he helped convince
me that using ladders would be trouble. So we went over to his place
and got his fancy aluminum staging equipment and put it up in preparation
for the next day. This is very cool equipment and will definitely
make the job much simpler! |
    John quickly mounted the support brackets to my window frames with 1/4" lag screws while I steadied the ladder and handed him tools. That's me in the white shirt! Since the platform remains several inches from the wall we will be able to lift the collectors up between the staging and the wall. This will really make the job easier, and having a work platform while attaching the mounts and finalizing the plumbing will be very helpful! |
