A FEW NOTES:

I found that I had to add a little RTV sealant under the top nut, and around the bottom cap to keep the rain out.

I also found that this assembly is too heavy to be held up by the 3/4" PVC pipe attached to the side of the "T".
I'll have to find an adapter that will let me screw a short piece of steel pipe into the opening.

Next up I'm working on the electronics. If you would like to receive an email when I get that information onto the
page, drop me an email and I'll add you too the list. I promise, your email address will be used for NOTHING else! Send me a note to:
