4. That's what I do for a living, lol. |
|
The difference being I'm a licensed,trained and experienced professional with access to all the cool toys and required safety gear. I am impressed, though. He's definitely got the fearlessness required for the trade.

8. As long as the pole is good and dry and he avoids touching any ground |
|
he's ok. Wood is a decent insulator for low voltage. I 'barehand' 120v every day. Imagine sliding down that pole trying to grab it with you legs like was. It'll save you 5 grand for a vasectomy. A former co-worker lost his cool one time after he tore out and tried to hug the pole to slow his fall. It looked like somebody took a chainsaw to his arms and chest. No matter how you slice it this guy is a safety man's nightmare.

I'm betting he has experience climbing coconut trees.
That said - all he wants is some electricity to run that fan. :D

7. I'm in my bucket truck as we speak. Slow night. |
|
I like it: A/C, automatic transmission, cruise control.. That being said, I do have climbing gear and I'm not afraid to use it. I'm not 'super climber', but I've been up around 150'.

Over the years we carry coconut water for the guys up the poles after hurricanes. We have loads of respect for them.
