Screw in a a 2x4 about 2 foot wide to the house...then use Plumbers Tape to
mount the mast to the 2x4.   Use lag screws on the plumbers tape.  Make sure
you secure the bottom.  I usually use a red brick with a holes...drive a
pipe in the ground at the bottom about two feet down and slip the mast over
the pipe.

Won-t move for years.
