To Purchase in town etc
- after leg supports are in place will need to pick up lag bolts for anchor base mounts / ice freezes
- check out the metal plates in the cement section at home depot. Grab four plates to place below the legs.
Extra to bring out Monday
- cordless battery charger
- more exterior wood screws
- proper bit for the wood screws
Tools needed Thursday
- Lunch
- wired Sawzall with long blade for cutting 8x8" lumber
- extra long sawzall blade
- tool belt, small
- 9/16" Wrench & nut driver / socket
- gorilla cart
- cordless drill for hangers
- 2 pcs uni-strut
- 8 pcs uni-strut clamps
- Wood Screws & washers to secure unistrut to trailer
- tie downs to secure pipe to trailer
Plan for 1st week of October
- put metal plates under the the two south side supports
- use four of the scaffold clamps to secure each south side leg in two places to the extra scaffolding added by Ikawa.
- once those are in place then add the remaining clamps to the south side supports.
- with the south side complete, lock in place the weak leg support.
- with the it in place and fully clamped, remove the original helper.
- put in a secondary 10' support on the NW leg
- move the fourth pipe to the NE corner
- clamp up the NE corner leg support.
- with the legs fully clamped, start on the guy wires.
Bolting hardware
- Medium-Strength Grade 5 Zinc-Plated Steel Cap Screw, 3/8"-16 Thread, 4" Long
- Type 316 Stainless Steel Nylon-Insert Locknut, 3/8"-16 Thread Size
- Zinc Yellow-Chromate Plated Steel Flat Washer, Grade 9, 3/8" Screw Size
Extra Notes
- the cyberpower below the SS Toughbook may be at capacity. Or who knows. There was a power surge that tripped it, which brought the network down when the deal didn't come back up.
- something to keep an eye on. It coincided perhaps with an 8/21 visit.
- it is a recurring brown out but I'm not sure yet if it is hitting everything or just that UPS.
- probably need an extension to reconnect the HMP power.
