I’m back on the internet. I lost all my access to data through my cell hotpot this morning.
My carrier added extra earlier, but i burned through that faster. :/
That is going to be one heck of a phone bill for me. Most of what i do with my phone involve either texting or fb messaging. That and a few (very) simple apps.
Other than my fb app i think that the weather app is the most complicated. After that my tide-table.
I usually don’t use much data.
So, to make a short story longer, the young man that came to make the repairs was not happy after he saw what was going on. The first person that put it up was an idiot. The company he was working for got fired before this last tech person got here.
It should not have been mounted on the roof. Period. Apparently, everyone that does installations know that you don’t mount to the roof of a mobile home or a manufactured home. It’s imposable to know where the studs are unless you are directly over a wall.
All the idiot got was plywood, except for one foot mounted at the edge of the roof. It’s no wonder it got ripped off.
The tech has some experience with construction so he made some repairs with some stuff that is used for stuff like this. Sheet tar. Never would have thought such a thing existed. He crammed a bunch of it in the holes, and slid a sheet under the roofing over the holes and secured it in place. He tried to do right by fixing it instead of just leaving it.
As for the antenna, and replacing the fried electronics (something shorted out?), i wouldn’t have to worry about any bill. He took photos of everything and sent them to HughesNet. Before and after.
After i shook his hand and thanked him for all that he did for me. And he thanked me for not being that ranting screaming lunatic that he has seen before. :)
