Climbing Part 2

I (Dwight) didn't climb the tower today. The fellow from the wireless broadband company, who is much younger than I, did all the climbing.



He first put the antenna on the tower at the point indicated by the arrow (below). The signal was weak, but was there. He felt if the antenna could be installed about ten feet higher, we'd be OK. Fortunately, he had some ten foot sections of pipe on his truck and one of them did the trick.



The installer was up and down the tower about five times. I told him it looked as if he'd climbed two or three towers in his career. He replied that it was more like two or three towers per day! It made me pretty happy he was doing the climbing because I have some really sore muscles in my left leg from my trip up the tower yesterday to take the unused TV antenna down.

I already had holes drilled throughout the house for the wire to run to the computer, so the installer was soon setting up the computer for high-speed Internet.
