I've heard that certain activities can cause blindness! :lol_hitti MM

So I assume the next "mini-project" will be leveling the building? :lol_hitti MM

Beautiful work, and I'm assuming by your wording that he's active military, so please extend a "Thank You!" to your "nephew" for his service! MM

Do you have a thread on this? My house has crappy reception (either standing very still in one corner of an upstairs bedroom or out on the driveway which gets mighty chilly in the winter), so doing something like this would be a big quality of life improvement for us. MM

Ok, so now I've got to ask a question... To my mind to clock a screw you have to either overtighten it or loosen it... The first would seem to either not be guaranteed (maybe you can't tighten it far enough to get it clocked, or you risk stripping the threads involved), while the other would...

Well it will be now!!! Thanks a lot mdbeck1! I bet you were the kid in class reminding the teacher they said that they were going to give a quiz today! :lol_hitti MM

Sorry to hear that... It looked like an interesting project. Any closing information you'd care to share on what you got accomplished, or what you learned, would do again, wouldn't do again, etc? Or maybe what project(s) you've moved on to since then? And if not, I wish you the best of luck! MM

Not the first to say "Me... Me... MEEEE!!!" I'm sure I won't be the last! You do some fine work! :thumbup: MM
