Ya, sometimes you just have to mount on roof. Last resort of course. I
was trained by career satellite installers. The trick is putting seal
down and running the screws through it. Also, stay above the soffit. I
always get the home owners permission.
On the brick, I use mortar screws. They work great.
So Marlon - you like the Bosch better than the Dewalt?

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,

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.

I agree, I will never again install on a roof. That cost me money
once,
not again. Can't even tell you how many homeowners have thanked us
for
not
installing on the roof. They hate their satellite dish being up there
and
are willing to pay extra for anything to keep it off the roof. What I
hate
is brick homes. No way to mount no way to run cable and for some
reason
those are always the people who have their computers on an inside
wall,
are
tighter than ticks and don't want to pay for anything but the standard
install.

I have a big problem with making holes in a roof. I just don't!
Reason is, any drip or drop then becomes the internet guys fault no
matter
if the roof is 40 years old and missing half the shingles already.
Too
many
people out to "gotcha". And the ones who ask to see our liability
insurance
before we do anything....... Red flags! They turn out to be
nightmares,
we
get permission in writing from those folks for every hole drilled.

Tripods like roof hole making tripods?

I guess I'm just old fashioned using tripods and 10 ft masts. Channel
