Concerning sealing the holes when a roof mounted tripod is removed:

When I roof mounted my beam (Message of August 6 with the creative
spelling of "joist" and "lintel"), I missed the joists with a few holes
and had to seal them up.  My approach was to drive a short length of
roofing cement coated wooden dowel (purchased at any hardware store)
into the hole so that  the top of the dowel was recessed about 1/4"
below the roof surface.  I then filled the space above the dowel with
more roofing cement.  I've had no problems whatever with this kind of
patch.
