If I did not mount on roofs I would not do many installs, most of my installs consist of 3ft tripod with 10ft mast or 30ft mast on roof peak with guy wires.

Last resort but there are times when it's the only option. We put down silicone then run the mounting screws though that. Never had a leak. People have been mounting things on roofs for a very very long time. As for brick, we use GOOD plastic anchors and longer screws than they would normally have. None have fallen off yet. When running the cable I drill the anchor holes into the mortar instead of the brick. I finally broke down and bought a nearly top of the line Bosch hammer drill. The DeWalt cordless is nice, but it's not really capable of dealing with high end brick or concrete. laters, marlon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Josh Luthman" <j...@imaginenetworksllc.com> To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Friday, August 28, 2009 7:49 AM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Antenna Mount extensions What's so bad about brick? I would imagine there is lags made for it (not the mortor). 've always used the saufet ?sp? And gutter to tuck/hide the cable so there is no damage.
