The existing mast is a bit too low. It's just above the roof line, which is adequate for a single antenna, but not two. Fortunately, the mast is modular; I just need to insert another segment. I'm also going to need a new transformer, as the one on the old antenna is not really the right type and is hopelessly coated in electrical tape. The most biggest difficulty, however, is undoing the guy wires supporting the mast. I wrapped them up pretty tightly, and I'll have to climb the ladder again to get to them. I've never been fond of ladders.
