Title: Hard hat?
Post by: Draco on June 11, 2014, 03:22:08 PM
Shouldn't this guy be wearing chaps and a hard hat, at least?  Sorry if it has been posted before.

I've got to say, it's worth it!  I mean, look at his ingenuity. :o

guys like that need no form of PPE, from the looks of that setup nothing bad will ever befall him.

Hate to say it but I've done the lower half of that picture. Needed to get to my downhill peak when setting the trusses but my ladder didn't reach so I put it in the Kubota bucket and lifted it as high as it would go. 28'ft ladder and maybe a 10' ft lift. Just enough to finish the job but I wasn't very comfortable.

What's truly amazing about that picture is how well they stitched those two pictures together without some fault line visible. The only fault is the number of power lines in one place that seem to run in the same plane yet cross in places.

Plus that is the most unique tree form I've ever seen.
