If you read my last post, you'll know that we had a mishap with with changing over our tv subscriber. If not, that's ok.
Just wanted to add anyway that I came home from work today to find the mister installing an extention to the old Dish Net pole, so we could change from Comcast to Direct TV.
I had to thread the mile long cord from out back to the deck, through the lattice, into the house and into the plug....(and remember to turn on the lamp so the power would be on.)
Then I had to go hold the metal pole while he stood on a ladder and used his drill to make holes in the metal.
I wore sunglasses for eye protection in the cloudy day skies, and he took off his glasses because he was sweating.....but:
He finally got through, used some screws and came down from the ladder telling me that we were now "good to go."
Don't ask...it's too complicated a story by now, but we called back and got them to come back and re-install us so we can have tv now on Friday.
We saved $75 by doing this pole work ourselves, the guy who came the other day is in trouble at work, and hubby feels happy so I guess it's all good.
I did mess up when I used the internet to get our $99 rebate because I was scrunched over by the computer with room for hubby to sit on a stool beside me, and mispelled my own email address.
We'll see how that goes after "24 hours." (the lady said) If we don't get the rebate, I will end up paying the $99 myself just to make peace....
But hey, I'll be able to watch tv soon, knowing I had a hand in getting it done.
And I don't even have to pretend to be the neighbor!
