When cutting back your roses, do not trim the black stalk going into the house. The hard part was actually finding the coax tools I had not used in over a decade.

Can you hear me now...?

Lol, gotta keep the power tools away from the wires going into the house

Cutting the cord is the latest thing. All the cool kids are doing it.

Related pro tip: if you have intermediate coax connections inside the house, check them once in a while. One of mine was not tight enough, and giving me all kinds of trouble. The cable guy came over and spotted it with his fancy metering!

Other: After we bought the house, a foreclosure, I had to remove hundreds of feet of coax in the basement, as PO must have a dozen TVs in there!

Cut to desired length, place your arrangement in a vase, in partial sun by window, and water daily.

That don't look like you have a ground block on the RG-6 if not you need to call your service provider no ground block equals danger. All you need is a knife and diagonal pliers 2 connectors and a barrel splice to fix that spent my life as Randy the Cable Guy for real.

Hmm... what does that look like once done, and is it usually outside the dwelling?

It has one, just 40 feet away because my cable guy didn't want to fish wire in the basement, he ran a new line around the corner and back of the house. Not saying that was a good choice, it was his laziness.

I found this picture but usually they have the cable looped around it it's called a drip loop to keep water out of the connector most of the time they are outside but sometimes they are inside just not often.

Well I have what you show, in an a gray box, outside, with drip loop... but there is no ground wire!

it is all near the old AT&T/New England Telephone?NYNEX cabling, so I can fish out a good size copper wire to the ground rod in the basement.

Yes and avoid cutting the power chord with with your hedge trimmer as I have done.

I wouldn't let a hedge trimmer within 100 ft of my guitar—oh wait, you meant power cord … never mind.
