So a little while back I decide I'm sick and tired of putting up my Starlink, running the wire and plugging everything in every time we set up. Then a few days later taking all of it down and storing it for next time. So I decide I'm going to mount my Gen3 permanently on the roof and run the wiring to my Pepwave router.
I watched a ton of YouTube Video's and did a bunch of research and deciding to do like MobileMustHave and Changing Lanes did theirs. I ordered the mount from MMH and a Junction box from Home Depot.
My wonderful wife of 40 years suggested (men, you know what I mean) that since I had, had surgery last year I might want to hire that done rather than do it myself. I said yes ma'am and here is where the fun begins.
I call guy # 1, no answer goes to voice mail I say I'd like to get a Starlink antenna mounted on my roof. I wait for a couple of days. Nothing, nada, zilch, bupkis
I call guy # 2 Ditto to gut #1
I call guy #3 No answer at all
I call guy #4 Same as 1 and 2
I call guy #5 He at least reply's to my message saying he's busy but he does make a referral to a guy.
I call guy #6 "The referral" He answers the phone we have a good chat and he's coming by in a few days.
Amazing, they all must be independently wealthy
