What a waste of a BEAUTIFUL USEFUL DEVICE.

Satellite Dish Gazebo

I haven't found a BUD yet where the bolts won't just twist off if they are too rusted.

"...in spite of two big guys with pipe wrenches yanking on them."

Pipe wrenches? There's your problem, mate!

C-Bandgazebo? I don't like it. (moment of silence)

My sons high school put hundreds of little tiny square mirrors on a dish 500 and made a solar powered coffee cooker. They put a little can of hot water where the LNB would of went. Kinda cool.

That's funny... I think my destroyed 10' BUD looked better in the yard than that out-of-whack BUDzebo... they better get those roses climbing quick to cover up their crappy construction job...

One of the more intriguing things I've seen done with a BUD is the solar collector... It gets hot enough to heat steel to glowing red.
I've wondered about methods for power generation with such.

I've seen that before and it still sucks to see it

I propose a little preemptive dish rescue. The mesh dishes that disassemble into quadrants take up little room in your basement. I have a bunch of dishes in my basement right now. The time to rescue a BUD is now -- when you don't really need another one. When you really need one they might be mostly gone. That would really suck.

3 local mesh BUDs got away from me this summer. I had spotted them as much as a year ago, always saw them when I drove by -- until the day there was that horrible sinking feeling, when all that's left is a BUD-less pole in the ground.

I'll try not to let that happen again

Well even tho it does sux that this bud ended like that, you gotta give it to the person who did this instead of sending it to the scrappers.

I am thinking of creating a liberation army similar to that seen mostly in Europe, but in my case it would be to rescue this poor dishes instead of garden gnomes ¬¬

I am going against the grain here and say that I like it. The Dish could have been distroyed and gone into a landfill but now its in use and providing the owner some happiness.

Yeah the construction could have been better, but at least its still making someone happy.
