It took us *two blooming YEARS* just to get a lousy satellite dish installed! 
The way it all has to proceed, you would think we were trying to build some 
kind of Toxic Waste Dump! It's just a simple fiberglass dish (3 meter) on a 
concrete slab with 6' anchor. Because it's close to wetlands, every "swamp thing" 
known to Man has to be consulted and give their seal of approval... 
surveyors, enviro people, Civil Engineers, etc. etc, ad nauseam.

It was almost two years to the week, that the thing was finally up and 
running. Now, I just have to deal with cleaning the slush off the cover every hour 
or so! Any suggestions for a water/snow repellant spray we can use to keep this 
crud from sticking like oatmeal?
