OK, I know, this is getting boring but it will soon be over . Yesterday I “dry” fitted the hardware and today I permanently installed it by putting black caulking under everything and screwing, nailing or bolting it into place. I use copper sheet as a protector between the mast hardware and the wood. It was a slow messy process to nail the sheets into place.
Then I applied another coat of varnish. While the varnish dried, I installed the tri-color light at the top of the mast and pulled the wires for the new wind vane. I had to solder the old and new wires together to insure that they wouldn't break apart while I pull the wire through the 50+ foot of mast.
Tomorrow, if it doesn't rain I hope to finish the mast.
