But having not gone back to every install and actually getting up and looking around <u>inside the attic</u>, would it not be presumptuous to assume that there have been no leaks?<br><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><p style="font-size:13px;margin:0px;padding:1em 0px;text-align:justify;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:18px"></p><div style="text-align:left"><b style="margin:0px;padding:0px">Benn Kilburn <span style="font-size:9px"></span></b></div>

We used stainless steel rod hangers straight into rafters, which left us with 4" threaded rod sticking up out of the roof. We used thru the roof for sealing under a nut and fender washer. I've visited a couple of those sites recently (still no leaks after over 25 yrs of production).
