1. A post mount installation device comprising:
a first pipe configured to be removably attachable to a first post mount, wherein the first pipe has a free end being circumferentially complementary to the first post mount, wherein the free end of the first pipe is configured for selective insertion into the first post mount for removably attaching the first pipe to the first post mount;
a second pipe attached to and extending perpendicularly from relative to the first pipe, such that an upper limit of the second pipe is substantially coplanar with an upper end of the first post mount, and such that the second pipe is substantially parallel to an imaginary line extending between the first post mount and a location for installation of a second post mount;
a third pipe slidably attached to the second pipe, such that the third pipe is selectively extensible from the second pipe, wherein a respective opposed end of the third pipe is configured for indicating a point adjacent to the location for installation of the second post mount;
a collar attached to and extending circumferentially around the first pipe proximate to an upper terminus of the first pipe, wherein a lower limit of the collar is configured for resting upon the upper end of the first post mount upon insertion the of first pipe into the first post mount;
a plate attached to and extending from the upper terminus of the first pipe; and
a spacer attached to a lower face of the plate distal from the first pipe, the spacer being attached to the second pipe, such that the upper limit of the second pipe is substantially coplanar with the lower limit of the collar.
