Managed to actually get in position today 3 minutes before sunrise.
Haven't seen a single bird move to / from / by the pond.
I'm further WSW from the prior spot, maybe 75 yards & on a trail gap. My hopeful thinking is if any birds do come, it might be along this path as a natural guide?
Dunno... sucks that my own joint seems to be devoid of anything that attracts dove.
Possibly better come Wednesday once the cold front comes through, dunno.

Going after it again on my place in Drippin'.
Wet from all the rain, straight up overcast, a solid grey.
Positioned myself facing towards the ENE this time (blue indicator) as Opening Day saw them headed as the arrow shows probably on the way to the pond that's been dug out.
0725 & Only now starting to hear Tweety birds making sounds... no movement from anything save 1 Dragonfly & a lone bee that came to check me out.
Winds totally calm.
Prior hide was under the cedars in pic # 3, what few birds I had came in from behind / off my R.

S-5 Roof Clip.
& FYI, I'm a fan of a Snap Lock panel system 1st, Standing Seam 2nd.
Then maybe a BattLoc 3rd.
For exposed screw panels, if you MUST, go Channel Guard / Rain Guard 1st & don't fuck up the installation with an incorrect screw placement.
Always, always, always, always, always, always get striations.
Always.

Power steering & power brakes are going to really REALLY be the best upgrade to look for.
Next up is a good / reliable electrical system. Those gremlins can be the worst. Very few do a total swap out here, but you want to look for splits, cracks, splices, wire nuts, etc. Definitely a hassle to work those on your own & quite spendy to have them shop serviced. Get on your back & look under the dash. You don't need to know what goes where, but you do need to look for [again] splits, cracks, splices, wire nuts, etc.
Then AC... it's Texas, man. Gotta have that. Factory? Vintage Air? (That's a co. who makes aftermarket setups to add on where the factory ride didn't have it.)
Up until the early 80's, it seems the Big 3 didn't think people considered that a necessity (especially if it was a Northern car to begin with).
BODY RUST. Floor pans. Quarter panels. Rocker panels. Door sills. Window edges / seals. Trunk edges. Wheel wells & edges. Look for bondo patching. Some are done well, others not so much & will be a definite problem for reappearing rust.
While you're at it, interior of the trunk & door frames will quickly tell you if it has been repainted & what the original color was. The VIN will also tell you a lot if you can research that code... original engine, color, factory options, etc.
Notice I haven't even touched on the drivetrain.
Post up pics of what you find & let Shag² tell you what to expect or look for.

If you can get the right crews, properly vet the sub labor & get good work out of them, keep the trains running on time & organized as to who does what & when...
Sure.
The stories from people who think they can properly manage all of that are definitely humor inducing, that's for sure.

Anyone had their roof replaced AFTER having solar panels installed? I want to know the added cost of such. Does insurance cover cost of removing and reinstalling panels as part of a roof replacement or is that all out of pocket? Also, if roof is damaged from poor installation (something they could claim) do the still cover it?
Yes & yes.
As a roofing contractor, I dig 'em.
Insurance does indeed pay for R&R & if they are damaged somehow due to any activity that would damage a roof, the panels are equally covered.
Do you need a separate endorsement for the panels?
That is something I cannot speak to.

Small dumpster rental
in Can You Help Me With This?
Travis County landfill off 812 has a minimum $ 150 charge for a trailer. I don't load the back of my truck with shingles that I can't toss in a toter (if my crew has a large repair, they will load THEIR truck & then transfer to the dump trailer if needed).
