My mother (who's house I was only VISITING at the time) mentions to me as I'm on my way out... "should the antenna be touching the hydro wire?" I'm like, "that's not the hydro, that's the phone line we got installed years ago." I decide to take a glance at it anyway since it seems to be leaning a little bit. Thank god I did check, cuz it was one phone cord away from being toppled over onto our driveway.
This is one of those ghetto old school antennas people had back in the days before cable. We still have it up because we mount the digital TV/Internet combo antenna on it. The antenna is also two full 20 ft. lengths (that's almost 45 ft.) and it would have caused some bad ass damage to the house.
(insert Macgyver) -- some rope and electrical core is all I needed
I find some rope (not too thick either) and think of drastic plan to save it from its twisted steel fate. Now I need is something heavy to launch the rope with... MY DOGS BALL!! Let me tell you that had to be the most annoying part of it. Any time I flinched, my dog thought it was a game (yay) and was driving me INSANE!!!! He's so cute :)
Took me almost 2 hours in the gusting wind because I was 12 feet high on a ladder but I tied that sucker so secure that she ain't going anywhere till a permanent solution can be found. The rope over the house to the wooden grapevine over our patio and some electrical cord wrapped around a tree. Lemme see Richard Dean Anderson do any better.
