See that satellite dish? I haven't had DirectTV for a couple of years now. I have U-Verse (which is awesome by the way and doesn't include some ugly metal piece to go somewhere in your yard). When I cancelled DirectTV they said "Oh, by the way, you are responsible for removing that dish." ...oh great...
I have mentioned to Paul a number of times (especially when I'm mowing the grass and have to go around it) that when WE have time I would like to get rid of that old thing. I also emphasized that there was no rush. Just needed it gone at least by the end of my 1001 days.
Three weeks ago my amazing boyfriend was weed eating my yard. It was a very very hot day and he had to take a number of milk breaks (Yes, milk, not water...). He finally came in and I could tell he was so exhausted. I told him to just wait and I'd maybe weed eat the rest during after work one day. He only had to do the back yard, and it really wasn't more than I could handle. He then explained to me that he wouldn't be so exhausted had he not tried to dig up the satellite dish. Of course, I don't have a single tool in my shed to make removing the dish easy. He basically bent the thing back and forth until it snapped in half only to realize that it was in about 2 feet of cement under the ground.
Oh, that boy is crazy, but he loves me and that's why he did it and didn't ask for help I guess.
So now the yard looks much better. No more ugly dish. The cement is still there for the moment, but it's underground. Also, this picture is just after the tornado - which is why you see such a mess. All of that is gone as well. So my yard looks quite nice!
