The local service provider worked through the weekend to get the juice flowing to the newly installed Cell site. Now the folks of Linglestown won't be dropping calls, and can stream till their heart is content!

All scratch built.

Great work!  Really like the fence and signage.   What did you use for the barbwire and chain link fence?   Please share details!  Thanks.

Here is a pic of what I used for the fence. The holes are nowhere near scale, but they look really good. I found it at Michaels, for about $4-5. The barbed wire is window screen. It is black fiberglass, I painted silver with a paint marker. The fence posts are made from the metal staple that hold the landscape fabric in the ground, with the top end bent for the barbed witted supports. The gate is wooden down. I used .020 safety wire (I'm a helicopter mechanic) for the wire holding the fence to the posts. Wood, foam, and cardboard for the generator and service box. Some cut plastic from packaging with cardboard spacers for the cooling fins, wire from cat5 for the cables going to the pole, and a piece of 12ga from generator to service box.

Thanks for the info.  I have a spot for a fence like that but, I have a mountain to finish first - Darn!
