	After disassembly the two holes for the mounting lag bolts were countersunk and drilled. Temporary mounting screw holes were drilled
	This image shows the long drill bit showing where the temporary mounting screw shares the countersink for the final mounting lag bolt. The temporary screws hold the brace in place so that the screw holes for the final bolts can be drilled
	This screw, set in the temporarary hole, will hold the brace in place while the holes are drilled for the 5/16" lag bolt. The hole will be concealed by the brace after its purpose has been fulfilled
	The brace is mounted temporarily with the temporary mounting screws in preparation for the drilling of the holes for the 5/16" lag bolts

	This is the saddleback visible from my front door
	I put 5 5 gal buckets on the roof in a row. I filled the two end ones with water and slipped a 4" drain pipe through the bails on the two end buckets. I got four 3" drain pipes and lashed six 10' PVC schedule 40 3/4" pipe to the 3" pipes and lifted the structure and set it so it rested on the 4" pipe and the edge of the roof. I drew the tarp over the plastic structure which was designed to keep the tarp off the freshly poured asphault emulsion, which I bought and applied when weather.com predicted no rain for 6 days. The evening of the 4th of December the radio stated that rain was emanent and after checking weather.com again I found that its prediction had changed to agree with the radio. The tarp was placed to salvage some of the work I had done with the emulsion.
