Mount in place, Otis the Osprey was lifted onto the peak.
.
.
A little crooked, but there.
.
.
After that, it was time to secure the bolts inside.
.
.
Which meant the ladder coming through the window…
.
.
And being secured…
.
.
So the husband could climb up into the rafters.
.
.
Otis!
.
.
He’s a wee bit crooked, but unfortunately that’s the way he was forged.
The mount is perfectly straight.
.
.
Lots of people have noticed him when they drive by and the neighbors have all commented on his arrival.
Some think he’s an eagle.
Some think he’s a phoenix.
We were told he was an osprey, but whatever he is..
He’s finally home.

Our cat’s name is Otis. He has his own charm, but he’s not quite as elegant as your Otis!

And much harder to mount on a roof, I’m sure…

Bad enough trimming his claws! He would not be impressed with efforts to mount him on the roof.

Wow… how tall is it? It didn’t seem so large in previous pics.
Congrats on another job done!

This is probably one time you wish the mount had been crooked. Might’ve balanced ol’ Otis out.

So of course my husband installed it perfectly straight. We just can’t win…

I don’t know what an osprey is, some mystical creature? Love it though. Might add one to my tarot table. 🙃

Nothing mystical I’m afraid. Just a northern bird of prey…
