He may not have thought of that and the mount isnt really that suitable for internal mounting and it may well be waterproof anyway. The wooden wall of a shed is not going to block much signal. Depends on whether it has foil insulation inside. My mate had his son's house next door to his house and we attempted to share his son's broadband that way but the foil insulation in the walls means that the antenna has to be outside. |

Is there a similar one on the main house ? One place I worked had such a setup between 2 buildings. Cheaper than getting a second drop from the cable co. |

They couldn't really complain because 1) I could do it from my garden, 2) they weren't there to 'enjoy' them and 3) I considered it noise pollution. How they / anyone would want anything like that, especially if they had Tinnitus (as I do) baffles me. I wouldn't have them *because* I wouldn't want to risk annoying the neighbours. ? It's different if I'm using the AG on something outside the workshop because that's me doing something practical and I won't be doing it outside reasonable hours or every day (or if they were out in the back garden themselves having a BBQ or had the washing out etc). Don't much want to control everyone else do you? Obviously *your* needs are paramount. You find it acceptable to make a noise all through the night? My neighbour used to have those things, I didn't have to touch them, a very strong wind smashed them up 2 weeks after she bought them. My other neighbour had set up a large canopy to sit under in the garden, and the same wind picked it up and blew it right over my fence and narrowly missed 2 ornaments. He came round to ask for it back, so I handed him the bent out of shape broken bits of steel and torn canvas, then reminded him that there could have been a £60 bill for two ornaments. His next construction was more stable. |

Would you have a good relationship with a neighbour who has parties at 3am with his drunken wife cackling loud enough to go through your closed double glazing? Or a jacuzzi that runs 24/7 with a busted motor making it sound like a diesel engine? |

It's not as if they're cheaper, unless they're burning scrap wood contianing paint and varnish, which I think he is judging by the smell. It's forbidden. Once the council catch him in the act (they've told me to call them next time it's lit), the device will be removed. |
