Yesterday. I made this one, had to put a 2-3/4" offset into it for a shepherd's hook effect because it runs back along under an old house soffit with 2/4" truss.
To get the bend to go thru roof without having to cut an oblong hole (3-5") I put in the shepherd's hook offset. I left the job without taking a picture of the thing installed but have to go back there today so hold your breath. It went in perfect.

That's the best looking bend in a stick of rigid pipe that I've ever seen. You union guys get excellent training.

It won't be too short, will it?:rolleyes:
Ha ha, it actually is about a half inch..... But..... there is maybe three sets of shingle piled up on each other over the years so I can always peel the roof down a bit more if they push it......:laughing:

Partially installed. No wire in it yet.

I'm not ashamed to say that I got a semi-erection.

Land for housing that sparse? Wait they didn't want to leave the house
to scout the dawn waves ?

:thumbsup:
This customer has cut his house to pieces in order to have rental units. He lives like a troll, and the thing up over the roof is going to be another unauthorized (but it has a permit...) rental unit. And Yea, in that part of town where this is, it is all old houses with small yards and no room. Diamond Head blocks the ocean view.

Interesting mast there Mac

depending on the OH's trajectory, i would imagine it not needing a guy wire at all, having the stability of the rafters you've made it too

Hey Mac would it have worked without the offset?

but that is such a nice bend, so groovy & what not.
