Photos: Larry Putting Up Tower

Larry got a 60-foot tower for our Internet dish from a friend this evening, and decided to put it up by himself tonight using his scissor lift.  He got the bottom 20' section set in place... gave the midsection a try... and concluded it would be best to use another method rather than risk disaster, as the scissor lift has no stabilizing outriggers, and doesn't really rise high enough for this job.

Sooo... everybody and everything is still in one piece, no equipment or vehicles were demolished -- and my laptop is still bouncing off the signal from Larry's smartphone for Internet.  Our home Internet comes on sporadically, but not enough for consistent service.

A lot of work still needs to be done on the house -- power-washing and varnishing, for one thing.
