[RE-wrenches] roof attachment in tile roof

[William Miller]

Benn:

Stanchions are tried and true, solid, do not leak and do not allow 
uplift.  If we are going to do solar right, we need to be electricians and 
roofers.  This means we have to cut tile.  I'd get some scraps and 
practice.  The new 4 to 4-1/2" right angle  battery grinders with diamond 
wheels may be real practical.  It's been a few months so I forget what tool 
we used.
