  1. Decided on center support to be a tee like support. Catch two panels on one mount. Bolt down panel from top. Have to a thicker top piece for threads or thin and a rivet nut.
  2. They never seemed like a good deal to me. Don't see the attraction to them. This is eye opening though.
  3. My roof is thick enough that finding rafters not likely. But 1/2" plywood I feel should be good. Will a stud finder work?
  4. Reason considering flat bar it had been recommended on here. " Combination angle and flat bar" to be exact. So can that. My thoughts on getting them up there off of back of truck. Place sheet of plywood against Teton and pull up. Will have help.
  5. I need to clear my cassette mini split unit. I actually could mount low and work up to it. Only 10 panels so be steady slope up I I go that route. My roof rubber. So screws.
  6. I have my panels, 40x80". Going to mount them long way across Teton roof. They will need to be about 7" tall. Need to go take a measurement for exact height. Going to use angle iron and flat bar. Bolt angle iron to bottom of panel and to roof. Flat bar between for height. Think this be good.? You that have mounted a lot of these know more than me. Considering welding up supports. All I have is a stick machine by choice. Get some stick aluminum rods. They weld nasty but hold good. Center support will be a continuous bar down center for a screw or bolt thru top with washer. What that will be is what I can buy local. I can start building supports while knee improves
  7. Mine went right back in by itself. It felt like my entire knee came out of joint but know that didn't happen. I have stayed inside taking it easy ever since. Called work and got an ROF. They were very supportive. I am going ti venture out today and go to grocery store. See how I do.
  8. Did you have the 3d imaging procedure?
  9. All positive need to be same length. All negative same length. But the positive and negative doesn't. DC current is direct current. So all the circuits in same direction need to be equal. Opposite direction all the same. But the two are different circuits. They do not have to be equal.
  10. I intended to work till 66 1/4. That way can work part time if I want to. That is this coming spring. I have already addressed this with my employer. They have a fabshop that we work in. I am one of the better welders. I can work on there and it is low impact on my knees. Make my $32,000 and go back following year. Just not installing it
  11. Kneecap poped out of place going to car in parking lot. It came back on its own. It is sore now. Never had that happen before
  12. Need some relief right now. Those of you that had the surgery did Medicare cover cost?

    Senior Moment

    Been so long since I wrote a check I would likely do same
  14. I have had the new $30.00 plan now for a few weeks. Can't tell any improvement or anything except cost 5.00 more.
  15. Stairs are the worse. Ii still walk fine. Climbing scaffolds and crawling around them kill my knees. Right now just walking hurts but swollen and stiff. Will seek a doctor as soon as I am off this job. We are for all means finished. Should be tonight. I have never had a shot in my knee.
  16. Job ends tonight. My knees need to recouped before jumping on this project though. I may have to quit this shutdown work. Knees really hurting
  17. Oh, as soon as leave I get it inspected. Go on line and register.
  18. With my work I have went past registration due to having to get it inspected. I just don't have time to situate everything to run sides in hook up and get it inspected. It has never been a problem. Now we are Texans
  19. I work in these plants. More and more are chemical and not refineries. Less and less work is in refineries now.
  20. https://houston.craigslist.org/ele/d/pearland-new-seraphim-450-watt-mono/7543611257.html. These are the panels. Going to run two pairs of series. Run one to each inverter
  21. I will. This quick Job that came up will stall me for a few weeks. But I will as soon as I can. Think I found a local steel dealer I can get aluminum uni strut from.
