Tent Up and Second Antenna Down


I drove by the house on Tues to make sure the tent was up, and to take a photo for the blog. Unfortunately I forgot the camera. :( Fortunately I still got a shot on my phone's camera which shows the giant monotone tent on our house (neighbour's car in front). Was anyone else hoping it would look more colourful like a circus tent?

An unexpected bonus was that the guys took down the second antenna for us! This was after Jai put up an ad on Craigslist for someone to do it, talking to at least two handymen and getting a creepy email from another person simply telling him "You can go to jail for hiring a handyman." My manager and I also drew up an elaborate and brilliant plan to bring it safely down with just me and Jai (and a hacksaw). If a job interview ever asks me how to get 5 people, a chicken and a fox across a river with single person canoe, I'll ask them back how they can get a 200 lb steel antenna down from a roof with 1.5 people (I'm the .5 in terms of 1 people-units [pu] of strength). But I guess now the world will never know the answer to that question...

  1. Hey it's Cirque du Soleil!...j/k

    I was expecting to see a more colorful tent...you know...yellow, red & blue, complete with Elephants & Bears.

    That was nice that the fumigation company took down the antenna down.
