Early May brings Internet by satellite
High speed internet is a challenge when you are far from land lines and cell towers, so here is Catherine slugging with a swede hoe finishing the trench to the post for the TV and Internet satellites. We are not taking any chances with frost heave, so it is a 16 foot 6X6 pressure treated post that is buried 8 feet in the ground and secured with a deadman to prevent twisting. John helped by doing the tricky backhoe work for the main trench and post hole, Catherine just does the finishing touches. Normally you'd put the satellite dishes on the house, but that did not seem to fit the log house "look".
