Good Afternoon! Steven - what a coincidence! We had burgers for lunch today, although the looked a little different. We don´t like those soft burger buns and have regular mini-baguette type rolls instead. No fries, though. Petra seems to get along with that fare, so that´s another step in the right direction! The Catenary masts arrived in today´s mail - on the predicted minute. I just wonder how they do that, but the German parcels service DPD has a real-time tracking system in place, which is incredibly accurate! I had spend some time earlier in the day to mark out the correct positioning of the masts, so getting out a drill and drilling the holes was a matter of minutes. The masts are not yet fastened, just pushed into place, as I need to paint them and add the wire hangers and insolators to them before I can mount them permanently. I will glue them and later on fastened them the nut & washer mounting that comes with them. Each mast is about $6, which I think is quite OK. They are made of nickelsilver H-profiles, stamped metal parts and nickelsilver castings. Quite a job! Here are some pictures: <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1030612_zpshx9d1fdk.jpg" alt=" " /> <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1030609_zpsdl5wy6sr.jpg" alt=" " /> <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1030608_zps0hrluakh.jpg" alt=" " /> Another little step forward! I intended to fasten the first mast with that little nut, but first the nut disappeared into the nirvana of the room´s floor and seconds later, the washer. While I was able to retrieve the nut, the washer seems to be gone for good. Heck, I know it is somewhere, but where?
