[RE-wrenches] roof attachment in tile roof

[Benn At DayStarSolar]

William, Jason;
I appreciate the suggestion, it sounds like an ideal solution. 
 I do wonder why you prefer posts when you could use the tile hooks and avoid the extra work and time of cutting and flashing? If it makes for a better attachment structurally and weather-proof wise, then I'm all for it. 
Could you make a few points for/against tile hooks vs flashed posts?

Thanks.
