[QUOTE="RichardM, post: 636538, member: 331684"] Hi, Dell replaced my laptop hard drive, so I finally got the other photo ready - this one looks (at an angle) approx South from the back of the house. The back wall faces 60W according to dishpointer.com (there's a google-map in one of the previous posts with the house marked, but I'm not sure if it makes any sense...), and the trees run parallel to the back of the house at a distance of about 100-150 feet. In the bottom right corner you can just see the trusty CM dish awaiting a home... I know my wife's reaction from the original installation - I was coming home from work to see it, and my wife was sitting in the back room reading. I'd never seen a dish bigger than 0.8m, so when I looked out the door and saw the 1.2m dish sitting on a 5' pole in the middle of the garden I nearly fell over! Couldn't believe how well Sarah was taking it - I asked her if she had seen it and she hadn't so she strolled over ... it was about 20 mins before she could speak again!! In fairness though she still didn't object - she let's me away with a lot really. :-) My original plan after the move was to mount it myself, but now that I'm looking at putting it up to roof level and subjecting it to the Dublin winds, I think it'd be safer to get someone with some experience - "safe" and "experienced" don't really describe my DIY abilities! :) BTW, I've been working in Dun Laoire for 10 years (lived there for 6 months after I got married) - pier, People's Park, shops, banks, etc. - it's a great spot! Cheers, Richard. [/QUOTE]
