We were working this job in Ventura; the decks are being redone 100%, inc
replacing plywood dryrotted out, repalcing all the flashings, and installing new Mer-Kote
decking. We were off the job for a day while railings were going in. When we
came back, we found an idiot sat dish installer had come by to put in this dish...
Well he drilled holes in the stucco looking for solid backing, couldn't find any,
drilled more holes, couldn't find any, then drilled again and finally found solid backing
to lag the dish to the wall. Then he ran his wire, nailing through the top of the wall, and
running the wires down to the entry point through the wall. With the wires running straight down
into the wall, the water will run down to the wall to, trying to get in.
Any one wanna bet that water eventually will get in?
These wires should have been run in a J fashion, so water running down would run to
the bottom of the J, falling off before getting to the wall. IDIOT! We voided the warranty
unless/until the contiguous building materials are repaired properly.
