High speed internet comes to the Ranch

Even in the way out country you can be high tech! We were so tired of snail e-mail. I was not able to send very large files to my clients and the speed was pathetic to say the least. So we had a little dish set 50 ft in the air, pointed to the tower that was about 5 miles away. It took 3 men to get it raised and then it was tied with guy wires to secure it from the winds. We hid it in the trees so you don't really see it at all.
It took us about 2 weeks to clear the area of a dying tree and under brush so it wouldn't be so difficult to maneuver it up. It is always scary to bring down a tree , especially when they are 40 ft tall. We have a 40 ft extension ladder that we used. But balancing on the ladder holding a chain saw and cutting the limbs one by one is something to take very seriously. This is why it took so long to get the job done. We had to calculate where best to place the ladder, how the limb might fall and making sure Richard could keep his balance!
