20+ years ago this was built incorrectly. The weld failed at ~05:00 Monday morning, I had the mast re-welded, replaced, a new dish and feedline on, and the link steered and radio passing traffic by ~18:00 Monday. Bitches don't know about my extensive support staff and blind stinking luck.

Verizon standard FIOS install..

(Of note - the outside penetration is the trickiest and most dangerous part of any install. I check and double-check and whenever possible, drill a different wall from the mains. I also use a tactic taught by my father - drill the first layer, stop the drill, use a nonconductive probe to check the interior cavity of the wall, proceed. Wouldn't have helped in this scenario, though)
