Very nice. But what is your plan for servicing that anny? Is there a tilt bolt on the bottom for after removing the U brackets, zip ties and guy wires?
I see a sad Acurite 5 in 1 in one of the pictures.
I went as light as I could with the mast so I can handle myself and get above 30’. Used 1-3/8” fence top rail (3 - 10.5’ rails) and used 5’ sections of PVC to sleeve the connections to add rigidity. It’s very light and easy to manage on my own. I still need to add the pivot bolt at the bottom.
Fortunately, I have plenty of room so all I need to do is exactly what you said. Cut 3 ties, disconnect 2 guy wires, and take the clamps off. Shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes.
As for the AcuRite, it’s still kicking and going to give it a new home. It’s been up in the Arizona heat/ sun for 3 years. At night, the measurements are pretty accurate, but during the heat of the day, it reads temps very high. It’s been a good unit.
PS - I’m a Florida native growing up in Miami and lived in Longwood (near you) for 7 years. I was there 2004 when the 3 hurricanes hit us
