Dad was right
When I was younger and lived in South Carolina we had a big, ugly satellite dish. Even though it was a technological marvel for us as a family the dish and its system were outdated even by 1987 standards. Eventually the thing quit working altogether and the dish just sat there collecting slugs. My dad always had the idea of turning it into a gazebo and I thought he was crazy. I believe I even said to him, "Dad, that’s crazy." Well burn my pants, some Maker has done what my dad always wanted to do. My dad is no longer with us but I know if he saw this he’d look at me and smile without saying a word because he always knew when he was right. Let this be a lesson to all of you, there’s no such thing as a crazy idea. The Satellite Dish Gazebo with all the gory details, looks awesome!
