4 element Yagi going up and want to do it right the first time

I've always put a ground wire on the bottom u clamp where it connects to the mast pipe and also another grd from the bottom of the mast pipe to a grd rod..can't have enough grounds I guess..
 
Well spent part of the day assembling the Yagi. Laid out the elements and double checked the measurements. They seem to have that down pretty good. Was going to assemble it all the way but they forgot 2 allen screws so will have to stop at the hardware store and get 2 stainless allen screws that hold the elelements to the main section tommorow. Converting from mm to inches and fractions is pretty easy with the internet. Had hopes for today but tommorow or the next will be fine.
