Re: TV Aerials, HD STBs, HD DVB-T Receivers, SAT T
Awesome!!! and I am very happy to report..I just walked in the door only moments ago,..with a lonnnnnng antenna pole.. [smiley=thumbsup.gif] ;D I decided to check out my local junk yard and after 20mins without finding any aerial bits whatsoever and giving up the search,..on my way out ..from the corner of my eye I spied a nice long pole leaning against the side wall of the massive junk storage shed. It had been squirreld away in a secured area with Strictly No Entry to Public sign. >
. So after an equiry,..which required the guy to ring and get permission to sell it(another 10+ mins wait ) and YES! I have myself an new pole for $5!! that is probably at least 600mm longer than the one up there now. So looks like I might be able to fix it approx 750mm in total higher....whoooot!!!!. That will definitely clear the crest of the roof,.. and I can see the tower from here, so if all goes well...I could have a win with this.
Just have to figure out now..how to get up there again and do it. Obviously this was installed before the metal roof,.and the guy must have had the roof cavity to stand in,. times like this,..a regular pitch and/or tiled roof would be noice,.. would be good if I could just lift a tile or two to get some kind of hold in the rafters :
. My husband suggested I could try and detach the pole from within the courtyard, but on closer inspection,. even if I was standing on the very top of a double length ladder,. I dont think I could reach it..a few feet too short me thinks. oooh ooh...I just had a brain wave
,.. my husband and I used to abseil a lot..whaahahaha thats it!!... from inside the courtyard and walk up the wall *snort*. Im gunna suggest this to hubby and see what he reckons. Could even be fun whaahaaha.
