An antenna!

We installed an antenna!! Okay, Doug did most of the work (I was pretty much a tool getter), especially after I saw a spider up there and froze in place staring at it until Doug was done to come over and kill it.

Here is the cable we fed through the control panel into the attic.
Doug is way back there...you can see his elbow.

It's like snow up there! (I'm not about to play in it though ;) )

Then when he was done with the antenna he had a little work to do on the whole house fan.

Look! The antenna! We have clear picture in each room now, without being ghetto and putting foil on the antenna to get a couple channels to work.

As most of you know, we still don't (and I won't) pay for cable. It's just too darn expensive - and they constantly raise the prices - and honestly, I get sucked into TV shows and can't stop watching them. We usually buy movies when they hit the $5 bins, so we have lots of them.

The antenna started as a way to keep Doug moving and awake until we headed out to Kristie's birthday party. Well, little did we realize 10pm came and went and we hadn't even showered or eaten dinner. Kristie, we're slackers!! It was going to be Doug's first experience at a night club too!!
