Satellite Removal 101

So my mom & dad have a old satellite dish at their lake house that they want to take down. Just so happens that we have an old one at our house too.

So my dad recruited Nathan to take down our satellite today. He wanted to 'practice' removing one before he did it at his own house. Basically he wanted a satellite to crash down on our roof, and work out the kinks at our house.

It was quite humorous to listen to them figuring out trajectories, the best place to stand, etc etc. In the end Nathan climbed 25 feet up into a 60 foot Sycamore tree with rope. Chris held rope from the roof. My dad used a saw to cut it down. Nevertheless, the big old thing came down without a hitch.

Here's a link to the video of the 'timber' moment...
