It went on with a bunch of other steel. Probably 3lbs of aluminum. Not much wiring. The compressor and stuff was fairly heavy. I’m not sure how much copper it is involved with that.

That big peace in the middle was super heavy. All steel and a bunch of screws.

It also had a bunch of solonoids, so if you took time to split them apart, you’d a bit more.

I just took it apart. The boss takes it in. He bought a wire stripping machine and in 2 days, we stripped 500 pounds. About 3hr/day, 4 guys.

All I can think of is Super Troopers.

“Sir, are you…OK?!”

NATE, ANSI, OSHA all have regulations for this type of work. 20 years ago, not so much. If you knew the tower owner, a lot of the time they would let you just climb up there. This was the, or one of the most dangerous jobs you could have. So they’ve stepped up the training and regulations. Having really good insurance is a must, for most tower owners now.

Try looking for a “competent climber” course. You will need the appropriate PPE as well. Full body harness and safety climb device.

It might be cheaper to hire a tower climbing company. We sub for a couple big name cell companies and we do stuff for the random Ham radio guy now and then. And a bit of WiFi. Shouldn’t be too hard to find a company near you. But I’m just a tower monkey and have nothing to do with prices. No idea what it would cost. I make a little over $30/hrs…

Rope (2) is too heavy to pull. Set up two pulleys (snatch block) like this and get a mechanical advantage.

This. We do it in the odd chance we get something cool. And the fuzzy we get from cleaning the rivers near us. Pretty gross how much there is. I’m keeping the wagon wheel.

Give it away. I’m just glad they don’t charge me to take it in. Most is pretty far gone. A few pieces are sold but not much.

Fucking headlines are getting stranger by the day.

It’s attached to the white wire, top right. Looks like the piece in my hand. One scew holding it in. One electrical connection. And is basically a metal rod with a bit of porcelain insulator.

I got a universal part that I needed to bend to match the one in the furnace.

Symptoms were that it wouldn’t stay lit. It would try, light up for a second and go out. Exhaust fan stay on the whole time.

We got up normal time for work but she had off and I had a snow day. She noticed that it was getting cold in the house so I went to check. The furnace is plugged into an outlet mounted to the side of it’s self. The GFCI was tripped so I reset it. It came to life but just the fan. Then I heard it trying to light and fail a couple times. Looked up some videos about “my furnace won’t stay lit” and they all said start there. Just happened to be the problem.

I looked for some videos about why it wouldn’t stay lit. They said the same, clean it off. But mine had a pretty obvious bad spot so I went and found one.

So, grand theft auto, right? Jail time?

Right…

Edit: Holy shit! He didn’t “take it”, the fucking EMS took him first! WTF?!

Holy shit! I was not ready for the music. I don’t mind, but was not ready.

Fucking sweet set up!

Just cut the difference off the front posts and add them to the back two. Plenty of fancy joints out there to make them strong.

Nice

It looks like the EM-50 Urban Assult Vehicle from “Stripes”. Would love to have a refurbished one. You know, without the poop exhaust.

Hot and ready ,I’m gonna guess…

I was way off. Seems to be an urban legend from Bristol. U. K.

There was some guy I want to say in Wisconsin that worked at a zoo. Collecting parking fees for like 30 years and kept all the money. And got away with it. Nobody knew who hired him evidently, nobody did.

We’ll be watching…
