Garden Gnome will give all my four kids nightmares however you bring up a good point.as far as seeing packages, you could put something on the porch in the lefthand corner where it's out of frame to keep packages from being placed there. a garden gnome or some shit.
Here a photo of the parts and the stock numbers for each parts.Looks great. Thanks much for specifics, if you have specific stock numbers from Lowes could you post them up?
Thanks for the details Bill, much appreciated !Here a photo of the parts and the stock numbers for each parts.
The rubber grommet I used last night, I felt it was still a bit big (1/4 inner diameter) after trimming down. It the one on the far left in the photo.
I went back to Lowes today and got two different rubber grommet which have 3/16 inner diameter both center and far right in the photo. I decided to go with the one on the far right because it a little thicker rubber which I think make it easier for me to insert it into the hole in the plastic end cap.

I use a 5/16 drill bit to drill the hole in the plastic end cap for the rubber grommet which I choose the one on the far right in the photo above (#884624). It come with two in a package also the end cap comes with two in the package.
Photo of the end cap drilled out and sliced with rubber grommet inserted in. Make sure that the slice on end cap and rubber grommet is going in the opposite direction. I plan to use silicone seal covering the slice on the end cap after I inserted it into the hole. But I plan to use only waterproof grease on the rubber itself.

Your welcome!Agreed photos and details are a big plus and Bill hit a home run!
I agree with you that it would be best to mount it on the wall if the ceiling or soffit too high or couple of feet higher above the door height. You can see that my camera is mounted about the same height as the door itself since the previous owner added a new soffit over the old one without removing the old soffit first.Nice, I'd have to mount in a similar fashion but n the vertical wall. Ceilings are 10' on first floor so soffit mount not really ideal. Nice work.
