Blaw-Knox Tower
BBC ‘Lisnagarvey Transmitting Station’ was opened on the 20th March 1936 in a rather overpowering ceremony held - unbelievably - at the actual transmitter site! It was attended by various high-ranking BBC and local dignitaries such as A.C. Norman chairman of the BBC, Sir John Reith Director General, and BBC regional director G.L. Marshall. Civil dignitaries included Lord Craigavon Moderator of the Church of Ireland, the Archbishop of Connor and many others. In today’s world a gathering such as this is inconceivable for the opening of a ‘mere’ broadcast transmitter, however it must be borne in mind the political significance of Northern Ireland as part of the ‘United Kingdom’ and the demand for broadcasting at the time.

DeWalt on the job!
I should finish the base boards and the corner molding by the end of the day tomorrow.
Reading the nail gun instructions!
It's true, I read ALL the instructions.
Even this one. Do you think their lawyers made them put this in the instructions?
The French I could manage.
This one I had a little trouble with.
Oh, by the way. There was not one of these little cards in English.
