Power antenna install
I Painted the rest of my roof white and decided to install a power antenna.
Decide to copy the idea from Richard Twiddy (Persh Idea page)
here is how I did it.
1st I marked were I wanted it

drilled a pilot hole then drilled out the hole


And installed it

I still have to hard wire it but it works great. Gotta love the sunset
