Progress:
The Little Garden Gnome has just started on the task.
Here he is, caught in the act of moving the first flower pot out of the way.

Below, The Little Graden Gnome is seen starting to dig the hole where the bush is to be moved.
and on the right, is where he had to cut through a bunch of roots, including one really big one...

Demise of the Dipole antennas:
The dipoles were taken down to make way for a real tower.
The Little Garden Gnome, disappointed in his progress, took down the dipole on August 12, 2009.
All his plans were tossed aside as a new location was found far away from his garden.
