Got to respect the lineman it is hard work I did 15 years of it. Pulling cable or a lasher threw back yards wasn't any fun either. Connected a lot of people to today’s technology and I still don't have cable TV.
There is a fiber cable buried past the house do you think these dicks will tap me in, NO.
No Respect.
I still have my climbing gear, belt doesn’t fit anymore to much beer I guess.
Oh yea, forgot about installing the guy anchors into the ground by hand, twisting them with a piece of pipe. Not having the power tools that are used today. Changing taps in a transformer on the pole by opening the hand hole cover and dipping your hand down into the oil and rotating the mechanical tap changer on that porcelain block.
I remember hand carrying poles (creosote which weighed twice the wolmanized or penta) hand digging holes with spoon shovels, pike poles to set the pole by hand, and pulleys to raise the transformers, OCB's, and crossarms.
ur profile says ur like 35....r u a time traveler.....17 yrs. ago would have put u at 18....so 1993 u would have been 18...1993 we had buckets ect....lmao
@johnmason2354 You and my foreman would get along great...because he LOVES to make things hard like they were back in the day....If it ain't hot work, somebody is gonna saddle up and get up the pole...REGARDLESS..but in the long run it helps you, bc when you get that call at 3 a.m. in the middle of a storm, the bucket won't always make it there..it isn't until you can do everything off hooks that you get to set foot in a bucket on his crew!
I can't think of someone talking this way. (Spudds69) But I guess by your username I can figure it out. Are you sure you are a lineman or maybe work for the telephone company. You can rush when you only have to go 18 feet off the ground. Any how that is a GREAT climb. This is what WE call pole top rescue. The point is to TRAIN... By this point in time we all know how to climb. If it was a race it would have been a limeman rodeo. Any how warner don't listen to this guy. You looked Great
